Creating Cutting Edge Careers

MTONZ is a not-for-profit organisation on a mission to ensure the CNC machining industry thrives long into the future through inspiring fresh talent, progressive training and Professional Development courses.

What do we do

MTONZ was born out of the need to ensure the CNC Manufacturing Industry right here in Aotearoa, New Zealand continues to grow and progress with the ever-changing advances in technology by being a central hub actively engaging with students to showcase this incredible trade.

The Challenge

With an ageing workforce heading towards retirement in the next 10 years and a mounting skills shortage, it’s essential we tackle the issue now. Without promoting the industry and inspiring the next generation of apprentices to join the industry we will struggle to keep up with demand and manufacturing will keep going overseas.
