CANZ Spotlight on

Fabrum's story began in Christchurch in the early 2000s with a vision to leverage Canterbury, New Zealand's hi-tech manufacturing capability, and provide a pathway for emerging Kiwi talent to develop
 world-leading clean energy technology that is adopted globally.

From the South Island, Fabrum precision engineers better outcomes through technological excellence while leaving the lightest footprint possible. This mission has positioned the company as a leading developer of cryogenic and composite technologies for a sustainable energy transition.

For 20 years, Fabrum's patented cryogenic technology has enabled the global movement towards a clean energy transition, delivering solutions to support hard-to-abate sectors including aviation, marine, heavy transport and heavy industry.

Fabrum's composite and cryogenic technology is used to provide:  - Liquid hydrogen with a range of production capacities from development scale to 400kg per day.

 •  Boil-off-gas management systems for liquid hydrogen and liquid natural gas to minimise boil-off loss and emissions.
 •  Liquid hydrogen mobility systems for zero emission transport.
 •  Advanced composites for aviation and aerospace.
 •  Liquid nitrogen for artificial insemination and reproduction capabilities in harsh climates.
 •  Liquid oxygen for medical, humanitarian and defence applications.  

Fabrum collaborates with some of the biggest names in transport, aerospace, energy and research such as NASA, Plug Power, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), MagniX and Airbus. Notable achievementsinclude providing the motors for the flight of the world's first commercial electric powered aircraft that was flown in Seattle in 2019, breeding cattle in Africa and supporting dark matter detection deep underground in Canada. These successes show how their precision engineering and world-leading R&D provide solutions that are delivered worldwide.  

Today Fabrum stands as a proven innovator in cryogenic and composite technologies. By combining pioneering spirit with Kiwi innovation, the company continues to lead New Zealand's contribution to sustainable
 energy and high-performance engineering.
