About Comvita (www.comvita.com)
Comvita (NZX:CVT) is a global natural health company committed to the
development of innovative products, backed by ongoing investment in
scientific research. We are the world leaders in Manuka (leptospermum) honey
and fresh-picked Olive Leaf Extract, which are at the core of the Comvita
product range.
We have approximately 50% of honey supply under direct ownership or control,
with the balance of supply from long term contractual and partnership
arrangements. Comvita pioneered the development and use of medical grade
Manuka honey and was the first to receive FDA approval (2007). We partner
with US wound care company Derma Sciences Inc., (NASDAQ:DSCI), the global
licensee for Medihoney specialist wound care products, which are used in
hospitals and medical centres around the world. Comvita's Olive Leaf Extract
is grown, harvested, extracted and bottled at the world's largest specialised
olive leaf grove, with over one million olive trees.
Comvita sells into more than 18 countries through a network of our own
branded retail locations, online (nine country specific e-commerce websites)
and third-party outlets. We have over 450 staff located in New Zealand,
Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, the United Kingdom and the
