Following the company’s success with major sustainability projects across New Zealand, the electrotechnology company, McKay, announced their recent membership with the New Zealand Hydrogen Association. The membership strengthens McKay’s existing commitment to the development of sustainable solutions and highlights the company’s dedication to a low carbon energy future.
“McKay strives to utilise our position as one of the fastest growing technology companies in the country to make legitimate inroads into the sustainable future for New Zealand.
