Sector Overview

Taitokerau Northland has a varied manufacturing sector that is underpinned by a range of activities, including structural steel fabrication, wood processing, dairy and meat factories and cement manufacturing. A key component and contributor to the sector is marine manufacturing, of which the region is home to one of the largest clusters of vessel building, refit and repair services in Aotearoa New Zealand, second only to Auckland.

The region boasts a marine industry of rare skill and capability and is globally renowned for its boat and ship building capabilities. The marine industry is a growing contributor to the regional economy, and this is reflected by some recent large investments into key pieces of infrastructure that improve capability and allow the region to target a wider market of boats and ships, and now encompasses the building, refit and repair of pleasure craft, superyachts, naval vessels, fishing fleets and barges.
