The Company

For 30 years in New Zealand and 40 years in Australia Geofabrics have supported the infrastructure sector on significant projects from the Victorian Level Crossing Removal projects to APLNG in Queensland, to the Christchurch Gondola in New Zealand.

On these projects, and every project Geofabrics undertake, they have a singular focus:
to provide smarter infrastructure solutions for their clients.

In fact, they were ranked #1 in the Manufacturing & Consumer Goods category on the Most Innovative Companies list by the Australian Financial Review (AFR) and BOSS Magazine.

For Geofabrics, smarter infrastructure is about using smart products, smart solutions and smart people to help their clients develop value engineering opportunities for their projects.

They believe this delivers greater opportunities to lower risk, cost and construction time frames whilst increasing maintenance cycles and whole of life opportunities.
