Location
Kia Ora - from heartland New Zealand

The Manawatu's central location boasts close geographical proximity to major Defence locations, along with NZDF and other public agency Headquarters, and provides a competitive advantage to Defence Hub members.

Sited within a 200km radius are two major airports (one civilian, one military), an all weather harbour, and major rail and road links. Combined with well established communications networks, these facilitate strong and timely logistic support for members' business service and product provision, locally, nationally and internationally.

Operating as a connected group, Members work collectively or individually to meet procurement needs with innovation and value.
