ABOUT FABRUM

Fabrum has built a reputation of pioneering world-first technologies in cryogenics and hydrogen solutions, fuelled by our exceptional R&D capabilities. Now, we're leveraging that innovative passion to take our solutions to the world.

Headquartered in Christchurch, we lead the world in industrialized small to medium scale liquefaction systems and composite cryogenic vessels. We deploy end to end liquid hydrogen solutions globally across heavy transport, mining and aviation markets. Our core competencies include hydrogen production, storage, dispensing and system integration. We have a presence in international markets for liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen and LNG solutions with customers ranging from animal husbandry to hi-tech research institutions, manufacturing and defence.
