What sets us apart

So why choose us…what’s different, how can we make your job more cost effective?

• We have the largest CNC mill, lathe and horizontal boring mill in the Hawkes Bay region
• Our CNC mill is heavy duty and monsters the removal of material! If you need large volumes of material removed give us a call.
• We manufacture large tapered bearing plates for structural applications. We typically manufacture single or dual taper plates, but can cut any shape required. We can also source plate quickly through our parent company (typically up to 100mm in stock).
• Our big lathes are capable of handling large loads – our latest project was to refurbish a 1.3m diameter quick opening closure sealing face!
• We offer metal spraying services – if your shaft has worn sealing areas talk to us first, we might be able to save you a lot! Metal spraying has it’s limitations, but when it’s suitable it is quicker and reduces the risk of warped or bent shafts. We’ve been doing this for years and have the knowledge and experience to advise you.
• We have the largest selection of structural and ASME welding procedures in Hawkes Bay (NEC & Eastbridge combined). If you need a curly procedure we probably have one.
