Waratah Forestry Attachments Featured During Rugby World Cup Celebration in New Zealand
MOLINE, Illinois (August 4, 2011) — Waratah Forestry Attachments will be front and center during New Zealand’s celebration of the Rugby World Cup (RWC) being held 9 September – 23 October. The forestry industry is New Zealand’s third largest economic contributor and Waratah is a major force in that industry.
New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, the government’s national economic development agency, has commissioned the production company, The Gibson Group, to create a promotional video highlighting the best of New Zealand to be displayed in various places around the RWC’s host city of Auckland.
“This Tournament is not just about the rugby, it is also about showcasing the very best that New Zealand has to offer from its cuisine, culture and countryside, to the warmth of its people,” said Kit McConnell, RWC Tournament Director. “It will be an exceptional experience for all who travel to New Zealand for RWC 2011. The teams are excited about arriving here, and I am sure communities throughout New Zealand are excited about welcoming them and making them feel at home.”
As part of the promotional video, Waratah harvester heads will be featured during a demonstration of tree felling. “Waratah is a proud member of New Zealand’s forestry industry and we are excited to be featured as one of the unique aspects of New Zealand’s culture,” stated Russell Kurtz, General Manager, Waratah Attachments Distribution.
