FPA have been owned by Haier for over a decade.
The head office is still in East Tamaki. Their appliances are still designed and prototyped by Kiwi engineers in East Tamaki and Dunedin but are manufactured in Thailand and China in FPA factories.
Some of their fridges still use similar interior designs and parts from when they were still built in NZ. It is still my preferred brand for basic fridge freezers, although their energy efficiency don't appear to be as good as other brands.. They used to also have reversable doors, but they seem to have removed this feature on new models. SO you have to buy a L or R door model.
