We’re delighted that Patton Engineering has generously offered to host our meeting, but please note that numbers are limited to 15. NB: This meeting is for manufacturers only.
As part of the national Advancing Manufacturing Aotearoa initiative, 10 regional manufacturing hubs have been established across the country. We launched a hub in Hawke’s Bay October 2025.
This group meet 3–4 times a year and play a key role in shaping the direction of the Hawke’s Bay hub — and its connection to the national strategy. I’m also pleased to share that Mike Sutherland, GM Operations at NZ Frost Fans, has agreed to act as our regional lead and will represent Hawke’s Bay on the Minister’s Productivity Advisory Group.
This is your opportunity to: Hear a presentation from Johno Williams - Patton Engineering Factory Tour of Patton Engineering Connect with fellow manufacturers from across the region Influence national productivity, workforce development and innovation strategies Share what matters most to you and your business
At the meeting, I’ll share insights into how this initiative is unfolding nationally and how manufacturers like you can be part of the conversation.
