Our Innovation

Innovating With Purpose, Designing for Impact

30 Years of Shaping Better Lives

... as a truly unique and inspired New Zealand-based company, that has revolutionised life-enhancing products to provide postural support solutions for the physically challenged and disabled.

1990: Journey to Shape Better Lives begins

Established as a family run business in Auckland, Medifab emerges out of a background in vehicle seating technology, with focus on driver rehabilitation.

1991: Custom modular wheelchair seating

First custom projects undertaken. Thus began the development of Specification Wheelchair Seating.

1996: Shower Frames developed

To meet a need for space-saving folding shower frames, particularly in disability bathrooms.

1998: Growth Proportionate Seating (GPS)

System developed to allow fine-tuned, exact seating to properly seat and position special needs of all ages, starting from a size 0 to provide crucial early intervention.

The development of this 'GPS' technology has continued through the Spex Seating and Spex Kidz ranges which provide fully adjustable, superior seating solutions compatible with most wheelchair bases.

2001: Symmetrisleep pioneered

Night time positioning and around-the-clock 24 hour postural care was introduced to New Zealand.

2003: South Island Expansion

... as a truly unique and inspired New Zealand-based company, that has revolutionised life-enhancing products to provide postural support solutions for the physically challenged and disabled.

2005: Launch of Shuttle and Spex

Recognising the need for early intervention care led Medifab to develop this versatile postural management seating for infants and toddlers.

Specification seating now produced as modular off-the-shelf and rebranded Spex.

2009: Australian Expansion

... as a truly unique and inspired New Zealand-based company, that has revolutionised life-enhancing products to provide postural support solutions for the physically challenged and disabled.

2014: Discovery Takes Off

The Shuttle pushchair seating system was taken to a whole new level from both an aesthetic and functional point of view, with the launch of Shuttle Discovery.

Shuttle Discovery wins first prize in the commercial category at the Better Technology Awards, funded by the National Committee on Rehabilitation Engineering in Australia.

2015: ISO 9001 Certification

Formal certification demonstrates Medifab's commitment to quality, productivity and customer satisfaction.

2015 also brought new, purpose-built facilities with Medifab's relocation and expansion to a brand-new premises in the Izone Southern Business Hub; situated just south of Christchurch, in Rolleston.
