❝Big enough to execute with excellence, small enough to know you.❞

Fabric Structures Ltd, formerly Fabric Shelter Systems, was established in 1990 by Warwick Bell and Graham Griffin and joined by James Mizen in 2010.

In 2015, Fabric Structure Systems and Structurflex merged their tensile architecture businesses to create Fabric Structures Ltd, combining over 60 years’ industry experience and knowledge, with James Mizen continuing as Managing Director.

Our highly-skilled, multidisciplinary team (based across two sites in Whangarei and West Auckland), provides expertise across every aspect of production, from a technical understanding of specialist textiles, best practice design/engineering processes, through to building consent applications and project delivery.

Innovation is at the heart of our culture, demonstrated through our award-winning bespoke local and international solutions, ranging from purpose-built architect-led solutions to design-led permanent structures.

At Fabric Structures, we collaborate with other industry-leading experts, including specialist tensile engineers, leading fabric suppliers, steel fabricators, local civil contractors and professional riggers.

We build sustainable working relationships with our clients, collaborating closely with them to understand their needs and issues so that we can provide the best solutions.
