KEY POINTS:
A Christchurch company says it has learned a lot from a trade mission to Canada.
Murray Allison and Christine Browne from Allison Avionics in Christchurch have just returned from a trade mission to Vancouver.
Their company Allison Avionics makes a tracking device for hot air balloons.
During the trip, they made contact with a major North American hot air ballooning company and hope to do a deal in the future.
Ms Browne says some of the other companies on the trade mission were further down the export path, and generous in sharing their experiences.
