Manufacturing
Where innovation
meets industry
Manufacturing is one of New Zealand’s economic engines, producing the goods that we see to the rest of the world.
We have a long history supporting manufacturers – large and small – helping them grow their business through collaboration, innovation, digitisation and the exchange of knowledge and ideas.

The manufacturers
of tomorrow
Manufacturing is a key sector in our economy. To address the skills shortage and attract young talent, it’s crucial to highlight the industry’s technological advancements, job diversity and creative opportunities.
Apprenticeships, mentorship programmes, and partnerships with educational institutions can bridge the skills gap and make manufacturing THE choice for young people entering the workforce.
