Our Story
Founded by a Survivor
In 2010 our founder, Carl McIntyre, was resuscitated with an AED after a sudden cardiac arrest.
He founded AED NZ in 2011 with a single mission: to ensure every New Zealand workplace, sports club and community
has access to the same life-saving technology.
AED NZ has since supplied defibrillators to NZ Police, Fire & Emergency NZ, hospitals, schools, sports clubs
and thousands of businesses across the country.

"When I came around on that beach, I knew I had been given a second chance. I also knew that most people
who suffer cardiac arrest in New Zealand never get that chance, because there's no AED nearby.
That's what AED NZ is about: making sure an AED is there when someone needs it most."
