Why invest in Auckland’s advanced materials sector

We’re specialised

Our advanced materials – primarily plastics, coatings, polymers, composites, ceramics, metal alloys and nano-fibre – are tailored for numerous applications.

High demand

The advanced materials we create supply Auckland’s other growing sectors. As these other sectors grow, so does the demand for the materials and the people with the skills and knowledge to make them.

In-house R&D

Many of our manufacturers have become experts in their field due to their in-house research and development.

Extensive research support and facilities

Many of Auckland’s tertiary education providers, as well as private organisations, provide support and dedicated facilities to research and develop advanced materials.
