Matthew & Camila McConaughey's Award-Winning Pantalones Organic Tequila Now Available in Aotearoa New Zealand
AUCKLAND, New Zealand, July 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pantalones Organic Tequila, co-founded by Matthew and Camila McConaughey, continues its global expansion with an exciting launch in New Zealand. The award-winning tequila will be distributed nationally by the team at Blanc Beverages, beginning with its launch at leading retailer Moore Wilson's.
Pantalones Organic Tequila has firmly established itself within the spirits industry, securing multiple prestigious awards—including two consecutive Double Gold Medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition for its Organic Añejo, and a Double Gold for its Organic Reposado at the SIP Awards. The Organic Blanco also claimed a Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Made from organic blue Weber agave and produced in a family-owned distillery in Amatitán, Jalisco, Pantalones Organic Tequila is for those who appreciate the finer things in life—but don't take themselves too seriously. The Blanco boasts notes of honey and citrus, the Reposado (aged 9 months) features a harmonious balance of sweet fruit and oak, and the Añejo (aged 15 months) is rich with butterscotch and maple flavors.
"We launched Pantalones to remind everyone that tequila should be high‑quality juice and fun," say Matthew and Camila McConaughey. "The only thing we take seriously is the juice in the bottle—it's organic, award-winning, and delicious. Whether it's enjoyed in cocktails, shooters, or sipped neat, Pantalones performs, and now, we're raising a glass to New Zealand."
"We're incredibly excited to launch Pantalones in New Zealand," says Andrew T. Chrisomalis, Co-Founder and Chairman of Pantalones Organic Tequila. "The country's vibrant hospitality scene, from Wellington's creative cocktail culture to Auckland's world-class bars, makes it a natural home for Pantalones. With Blanc Beverages leading distribution and Moore Wilson on board, we're entering the market with real momentum."
The New Zealand launch continues Pantalones Organic Tequila's expansion as the brand shares great tequila—and a good time—with drinkers around the world.

GUANGZHOU, China, Jan. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, GAC's independently developed Quark E-Drive power domain control system has achieved the world's first dual certification for deeply integrated ASIL D functional safety and information security, accredited by DAkkS, Germany's national accreditation body. The certification was evaluated and issued by SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Co., Ltd. (SGS), a globally recognized certification authority.
ISO 26262 is the internationally recognized core standard for automotive functional safety. Within this framework, ASIL D represents the highest automotive safety integrity level, requiring near-zero tolerance for safety-critical failures. Achieving an ASIL D certification accredited by DAkkS signifies that the certified product meets the highest globally accepted standards for automotive safety.
The certified Quark E-Drive power domain control system has been in production use since February 2025, and is now deployed across multiple models under GAC's brands - HYPTEC and AION. As the industry's first electric drive power domain system based on deep integration using a single main control chip, the solution significantly reduces chip count, minimizes risks associated with chip-level failures, and boosts motor controller efficiency to as high as 99.9%. The certification confirms that GAC has completed the system's full product development lifecycle in strict compliance with ISO 26262:2018 functional safety and ISO/SAE 21434:2021 information security standards.
Throughout the project, GAC Technology Research Center worked closely with SGS experts, strengthening safety design across all development phases while ensuring engineering feasibility and an optimal user experience.
Zhao Hui, Vice President of SGS China, commented: "The successful certification highlights GAC's strong team and robust development systems. We are pleased to support the safety of the Quark E-Drive and look forward to closer collaboration."
This milestone represents a major breakthrough for GAC in e-drive safety and sets a new global benchmark for the intelligent electric vehicle industry.
