What goes into building the trailers you see on NZ roads every day? 👇
Last night we had the pleasure of welcoming CILT NZ Northern Section to Action Manufacturing for a behind-the-scenes look at Freighter and Fairfax in action.

From the factory floor through to finished product, it was great to share how our team brings ideas to life, designing and building gear that’s made to handle the realities of Kiwi transport. It’s the little details, smart engineering choices, and practical thinking that all add up to equipment operators can rely on.

More than anything, it was a chance to connect, talking shop, answering questions, and giving people a closer look at the people and processes behind the brand.

Huge thanks to everyone who came along and made it such a great evening 👏 We always value the opportunity to open our doors and be part of conversations that keep our industry moving forward.
