(PR.co.nz) Seventhwave Wetsuits is moving to reassure customers of former fellow Kiwi wetsuit manufacturer Bodyline that it will be able to look after their wetsuit needs following the sudden closure of the long-running Tauranga-based company.
Bodyline closed its doors last week.
Seventhwave owner Paul Zarifeh says it’s sad to see the firm close down after being a fixture on the local scene for many years.
“It is sad, and shows how tough it is for New Zealand manufacturers to compete and stay in business, when a lot of factors are really out of our control. But our customers and those of Bodyline will know, that if you want quality and service and the best of local knowledge then you just can’t beat New Zealand-made.”
And Zarifeh says moving forward, Bodyline customers can rest assured that Seventhwave will be able to look after their wetsuit needs.
“Last week we had a couple of Bodyline long-time customers phone sounding worried about what they were going to do now for their next custom wetsuit, as they had just heard the bad news. I assured them we could definitely help them when the time comes and if they needed repairs or anything to contact us.”
Zarifeh says they’ll only be too happy to help people looking for a new wetsuit supplier, and who want the quality, fit and service delivered by Seventhwave.
