Humble Beginnings
Our Story
Just over 30 years ago in 1983, the Currie brothers from a Hastings orchard found themselves selling their latest Gib-lifting innovation to a hospital surgeon. As unusual as it was, the hospital saw the potential in their engineering and were soon enquiring about what other products the ‘Cubro’ boys could develop. The brothers left with a brief for wheelchairs and never looked back.
