SFIA member FRAMECAD has named Aaron Wright as its new CEO. Wright previously served as the company’s chief operations officer. He joined the company in April 2024.
Before joining the business, Wright spent 18 years with Fonterra Co-operative Group. He held senior leadership roles across New Zealand, Europe and the Middle East.
Founder and former CEO Mark Taylor will serve as Executive Director.
FRAMECAD develops end-to-end cold-formed steel (CFS) framing systems for residential and commercial construction. Its technology supports off-site manufacturing and design-led construction methods.
Wright says he’s excited to build on FRAMECAD’s 40-year legacy as a successful New Zealand exporter of construction technology.
“The global construction industry is one of the largest in the world, however, it has consistently had one of the lowest rates of productivity improvement,” says Wright. “FRAMECAD can accelerate technology adoption in construction, reduce waste and accelerate build times.”
The company continues positioning its building system for global growth as demand for faster, technology-driven construction increases.
“Aaron has been a key factor on the journey to prepare for a product-led growth strategy on a global scale,” says Mike Riley, FRAMECAD Non-Executive Chair. “The market opportunity for the FRAMECAD building system is large and growing.”
