We’re proud to share that Cleanery has been named the winner of the Excellence In Innovation category at the 2025 New Zealand International Business Awards (NZIBA), and was also recognised as a finalist in the Best Emerging Business category.
This year’s NZIBAs brought together an impressive group of New Zealand exporters doing smart, meaningful work on the global stage, with a record number of entries across diverse sectors. Being acknowledged among such strong competition is an honour in itself.
The judges highlighted Cleanery’s “full-stack innovation,” and praised our approach to vertical integration in manufacturing as a core strength that protects and scales our technology. Innovation is at the heart of every aspect of Cleanery, so to win this particular awards means a huge amount.
"Innovation drives every part of what we do, from understanding customer needs, through design, R&D, manufacturing, and the marketing engine that gets our products into homes around the world," says Cleanery Co-Founder Mark Sorensen.
Thank you to our team, all our supporters, investors and friends of Cleanery, and congratulations to all the amazing finalists and winners at the NZIBAs too. Finally, a big thank you to those who made the NZBIA event happen, and champion New Zealand business every single day, especially New Zealand Trade & Enterprise and Kiwibank. #nziba
