MHM Automation

MHM Automation, now with four New Zealand manufacturing plants, has grown to become an international leader in the design and manufacture of innovative technology solutions and the fabrication of stainless steel products.

 

Following the restructuring in 2015, MHM Automation seeks to generate long-term shareholder value by focusing on its portfolio of food processing and packaging IP which are sold globally while continuing to drive efficiencies in its core fabrication business. In addition, MHM Automation is seeking to commercialise the S-Clave technology and get it into market within a compressed timeframe.

 

The company was listed on NZX since 1959 under the name of Broadway Industries Limited. In November 2009 it changed name to Mercer Group Limited (MGL). In September 2020 it changed name once more to MHM Automation Limited (MHM).
