2026 NZSDA Conference, Expo & Awards:
The 2026 NZSDA Conference and Awards in Auckland was an incredible experience for the Big Brown Industries team. We came, we competed, and we left with recognition that validated all the hard work and creativity we've poured into our craft.
Our Gold Medal Win
This year's entry strategy was focused and intentional — quality over quantity. Our chrome-wrapped BMX bike took home the Gold Medal in the Vehicle Custom Wrapped category, standing out as a true masterpiece among the competition. It's a moment we're genuinely proud of, and it reflects the precision and passion that goes into every project we create.
What This Win Means for Big Brown
Winning Gold at the NZSDA Awards isn't just about the medal — it's validation that our approach to BMX graphics and custom work resonates with industry experts. Every detail matters, from the initial design concept to the final chrome wrap, and this recognition proves that our commitment to excellence is paying off. It's a testament to the skill, dedication, and creativity of our entire team.
Looking Forward
We're heading back in the shop, energised and ready to channel this momentum into the next 12 months. The connections we've made at the conference have reinforced our commitment to pushing boundaries in all our custom work. With fresh insights and a team that's more aligned than ever, we're confident about what lies ahead.
Events like the NZSDA Conference remind us why we do what we do — to create, innovate, and celebrate the craft alongside a community that shares our passion. Here's to growth, new challenges, and the exciting chapter we're about to write together.
