A world leader in zero-emission technology and NZ-based start-up, Fabrum, has raised $23 million to help lower the carbon economy across the world.

Founded in 2004, Fabrum has a global reputation as an innovator in industrialised small to medium-scale liquefaction systems and composite cryogenic vessels.

The company provides end-to-end liquid hydrogen solutions across the world for the heavy transport, mining and aviation markets.

Fabrum has received funding from leading venture such as AP Ventures, Obayashi Corporations and K1W1, giving the company opportunity to take their technology across the world to meet the growing demand for end-to-end hydrogen systems.

“This investment is a critical milestone for Fabrum, validating the technology development pathway that fellow founder Hugh Reynolds and I have built over the last 18 years,” says Christopher Boyle, Founder and Chairman of Fabrum.
