Partnerships
Forming partnerships and strategic alliances with other companies, organisations and customers is an integral and crucial part of being Foot Science International and the way that we work. We work closely with medical professionals in numerous countries in a symbiotic relationship. Foot Science benefits from access to the latest research and in turn sponsors related research projects. Through a very active sports sponsorship programme Foot Science has developed relationships with hundreds of sports people, coaches, and therapists all over the world. The feedback and information from these programmes goes directly to developing new Formthotics and improving the classic ones. And while it is very exciting to know that Formthotics are being used in the World Cup or going to the top of Mt Everest again, it’s also very cool to know that our local Under 12 basketball team is getting Formthotics support!

Foot Science is always interested in helping to support Podiatry schools and with the advent of a new school here in New Zealand at the AUT campus in Auckland, we have welcomed the opportunity to develop a close working relationship with staff and students. We have much to learn from the practitioners of the future. In return we started the first of the annual Formthotics Travel Scholarships for students at the school. In June of 2003 we awarded the first scholarship to Hilary Gaudin to allow her to go to the UK to St Giles Hospital.

Awards
Awards are recognition of the collective efforts of people in our business. Based in New Zealand, Foot Science International has always been involved in international markets and Foot Science was first recognised for its exporting strengths in 1992, with an Export Commendation from the NZ Trade Development Board. In 1994, after undergoing an independent assessment of quality of service, product and manufacturing method, Foot Science International was made a brand partner in the 'New Zealand Way'. Companies need to pass a rigorous process to be licensed to use the 'New Zealand Way' brand with key criteria including quality, environmental responsibility, values, achievement, honesty, integrity and openness.

In February 1995, at the annual Prague Sports Trade Show in the Czech Republic, Formthotics was awarded the Best Product of the Year. And in 1999 Foot Science International was proud to win the New Zealand Export Awards: given the calibre and passion of this competition it was particularly satisfying just to be part of it all. Foot Science International now exports Formthotics to approximately twenty five countries around the world, including most of Western and Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, North America, Korea, Singapore and Australia.
