From powering the world’s first superconducting aviation motor to launching hydrogen testing facilities at Christchurch Airport, Fabrum’s work spans industries and continents. Their story is one of bold ideas, deep technical expertise, and a relentless drive to do more with less—while leaving the lightest footprint possible.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear directly from one of New Zealand’s most exciting engineering breakthroughs. Whether you’re passionate about sustainability, energy, or cutting-edge manufacturing, this is a session you won’t want to miss.
This event will appeal to you if you’re interested in emerging technology related to alternative energy of if you’re interested in cutting edge mechanical engineering technology. Fabrum supply technology used to enable “green hydrogen” for transport and other purposes. They also develop and supply technology used for high temperature superconductor applications such as electric aviation, experimental new technology for satellite propulsion and for electricity generation using fusion energy.
Presenter: Hugh Reynolds, Technical Director, Fabrum.
A UC Mechanical Engineering graduate, Hugh started racing motorcycles at 18 and this heavily influenced his professional life. He raced internationally, including the Isle of Man TT 5 times, then went on to multisport and adventure racing. He started Fabrum at the age of 36, with a friend and fellow motorcyclist. They share a vision of doing some ‘good’ for the world, and looking after NZ by exporting high value products.
