Canterbury of New Zealand is located in the Canterbury province of New Zealand and had its beginnings in the late 1880’s and when two family companies joined forces in 1904 the foundations of the Canterbury of New Zealand brand were laid. For many years Canterbury of New Zealand was a major part of the Lane Walker Rudkin group of companies and was formed to market the “Canterbury of New Zealand” brand. The company that started making knitwear in the Canterbury of New Zealand province of New Zealand is now known as “Canterbury of New Zealand” and is recognised as the number one rugby apparel brand in the world.
