Engineered by Engineers Who Still Work in the Engine Room
At Enginuity, we’re not just designing solutions from a desk—we’re creating them from the deckplates.
Founded by veteran marine engineer Ben, Enginuity was born from real-world frustration: routine engine maintenance tasks were messy, time-consuming, and often solved with nothing more than a rag and a bucket. We believed there had to be a better way—and we built it.
With over 20 years of hands-on marine engineering experience, Ben and the team are still actively working on vessels powered by CAT3500 engines and other heavy-duty machinery. Every Enginuity product is the result of a problem we’ve faced ourselves—and solved.

From Practical Idea to Precision Product
Our first innovation was a custom-fit drip tray for CAT3500 series engines—designed to capture residual fuel during filter changes, eliminate spills, and dramatically improve safety and efficiency. That product now carries registered design certification in New Zealand and Australia, with a US patent pending.
We continue to expand our range with the same mission:
To make routine maintenance safer, cleaner, and more efficient using clever, field-tested engineering.
Our Motto: "We’ll Find the Efficient Way"
Simplicity isn’t laziness—it’s mastery.
Our motto reflects a deep belief that there’s always a more efficient, less wasteful way to do the job. Whether that means using existing bolt holes to avoid drilling, designing for easy drainage, or supplying every fastener and washer required—our goal is to make the job easier for the people doing it.
Our Mission
To provide high-quality engineering products and services that support safety, efficiency, and reliability across the marine and industrial sectors.
Our Vision
To lead the way in developing field-tested solutions that simplify routine maintenance tasks and reduce environmental impact—without compromising performance.
Built Like Family. Backed by Experience.
The name “Cuzzie Bro” was a nod to our New Zealand roots and the tight-knit, family-like crews we’ve worked with onboard ships around the world. As we rebrand to Enginuity, our purpose stays the same:
Build better tools for better work.
And never forget who we’re building them for.
