Lower Hutt based company Fraser Engineering is going from strength to strength, doubling the size of its business. ORGANISED BY www.engineeringnews.co.nz 25 ‘Bringing Manufacturing Home’ will be a key theme at EMEX 2016 when the country’s leading engineering, manufacturing, innovation and technology trade event comes to Auckland from May 31 to June 2. Celebrating local New Zealand manufacturers has always been core to the EMEX brand and this year will be no exception. Bringing Manufacturing Home is about recognising the manufacturing and innovation excellence that inspires so many of New Zealand’s manufacturing, engineering and technology companies to not only remain competitive but to produce products and services that are up there with the very best in the world. One such example, and a special feature at EMEX 2016, is from Lower Hutt based company Fraser Engineering. Its Fire Engine manufacturing business is going from strength to strength as it begins the process of doubling the size of business on the back of moving into more markets. Fraser Engineering already manufactures about 90 percent of the New Zealand Fire Service fleet as well as trucks for Australia, Pacific Islands, Fiji, Cook Islands, New Guinea and Asia. The future looks exciting as they expand production through investment in equipment upgrades and new technology to make the business more smart and efficient - not to mention the need to hire an additional 20 staff to meet demand. Show organiser XPO Exhibitions says visitors will be able to get up close and personal on site with one of Fraser Engineering’s state of the art fire trucks as a key feature at EMEX 2016. In addition, this year’s event features a dedicated and extended seminar session focussing on the ever popular topic ‘Additive Manufacturing ’ which, as you will be aware, is the term to describe the technologies that build 3D objects by adding layer-upon-layer of material, whether the material is plastic, metal, concrete or one day…..human tissue.
