MB Century “Many know us for energy solutions, but we’re equally equipped to service any industrial or commercial sector.” REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT This year, MB Century Ltd. celebrates its 75th year of providing end-to-end energy solutions to New Zealand and global markets. While most associate the name with geothermal and hydro power, their reach extends well beyond the energy sector. From their Taupō headquarters they put their depth of experience to work across New Zealand’s industrial and agricultural sectors, too. “We’ve protected, repaired, and fabricated critical assets for marine operators, forestry businesses, transport fleets, local councils, and farmers, to name a few,” says chief executive, Alan Stewart. “With our in-house engineering design and mechanical services teams, we don’t just fix problems, we are able to engineer solutions from concept to installation, and we’re just as comfortable stepping in to deliver a single, specialist service when that’s what the job calls for,” he says. MB Century’s workshops are led by a highly skilled team of fabricators and machinists, who deliver practical, reliable, and long-lasting solutions arrived at through experience and imagination. They love a challenge, whether it’s fabricating turnkey construction, undertaking emergency repairs to get an industrial plant back in action, machining high-precision components, or general machining. “Many know us for energy solutions, but we’re equally equipped to service any industrial or commercial sector. “That’s what makes us different. You’re not just getting a supplier – you’re getting a full engineering partner. We work with New Zealand industries to keep them moving, sustainably, efficiently, and all under one roof,” says Alan. With the spray booth heated by clean, renewable geothermal energy, their industrial coatings workshop showcases their sustainability as it consistently delivers high-quality coating with a fast turnaround and a low environmental footprint. Their track and trolley system allows the safe, efficient and seamless movement of heavy and oversized assets, from a 50-tonne hydro gate to a full structural steel frame. “We coat to all specifications and are Metaline soft coating approved applicators, which allows us to apply advanced protective coatings that defend against abrasion, chemical exposure and corrosion, whether it’s in geothermal steam zones, salt-laden coastal sites, or wet agricultural environments. It’s all about protecting the value and extending the life of our clients’ assets, through exceptional quality,” Alan explains. For MB Century, resilience is more than a buzzword – it’s the core of what they do. As not only a leader in renewable energy, but a one-stop industrial workshop partner, they understand that downtime can cripple operations, explains Alan. “We’ve got the team, the tools, and the track record to help if you’ve got a component that needs protecting, a machine that needs rebuilding, or a problem that needs designing. Being able to design, coat, fabricate, machine, and install all under one roof gives us a serious advantage, and you can be confident your assets are in safe hands.” MB Century not only works to enable New Zealand’s energy sector to deliver a reliable and sustainable future, they understand the need for the construction and maintenance of sustainable infrastructure: infrastructure that is designed, built, operated and maintained to deliver long-term environmental and economical outcomes. Whatever the challenge, whatever the scale, MB Century has proven they are the partner for all your engineering needs.
