The brand is considered iconic by many New Zealanders[citation needed], being a leading producer of gumboots. "Jandals", the common name for flip-flops in New Zealand [citation needed], is a trademark of Skellerup. In 1969, Skellerup was the founding sponsor of the Young Farmer of the Year competition, a relationship which lasted 29 years.[citation needed]
In 2015, its product lineup includes a variety of agricultural components and products for the dairy industry, such as milk liners and livestock health management products.[2] Skellerup also manufactures industrial products to assist with hydraulics, fluids, water-proofing, and water pumps.[3]
As of December 2015, Skellerup was one of the components of the NZX 50 Index, with a market capitalisation of over $240m NZD.[4] Major investments in a new Dairy Rubberware factory in Christchurch were made to drive profit increases over 2016 and 2017.[5]
