Fisher & Paykel Appliances has been delisted from the New Zealand Exchange following its take over by Chinese appliance giant Haier.
Haier's New Zealand Chaiman Lian Haishan, is promising to keep the company kiwi.
He says a key part of Fisher & Paykel's success has been driven by the culture of the company .
According to Lian Haishan, things like inventiveness, a willingness to take on the world despite its size and a family spirit about the company all reflect New Zealand values and they want to retain them..
Mr Haishan says they intend to retain Fisher & Paykel's CEO and head office in New Zealand, and keep the current ratio of New Zealand and Australian independent directors on the companyâs board for at least the next two years.
