| 45 Leading the way in design, contract manufacturing & engineering services Founded in 1992, Hamilton-based PFS Engineering has deep roots in the engineering sector and is continuing to grow its reach and reputation as an industry specialist in design, manufacturing, installation and maintenance. With extensive workshop facilities, PFS Engineering is well-equipped to handle large-scale projects with ease across many di erent industries. A focus on fostering positive partnerships – and developing an exceptional team - underpins the company’s quality track record in both New Zealand and Australia. In New Zealand, PFS Engineering works closely with fellow industry partners like architectural rigging specialist SRS Group. “We have worked with Luke and Alice Tempest, who own and operate SRS Group, for a number of years and have partnered with them in the past to supply and install their products for infrastructure jobs,” says Adam Rickit, PFS Engineering Business Development Manager. “Just recently, they paid that forward when SRS teamed up with PFS on a project that they were leading as head contractor. This is the Wynyard Wharf project in Auckland, for which PFS manufactured solid balustrade panels. We collaborated in designing our bespoke parts before bringing it together and the installation was well-managed to be low impact within a tricky site. We are independent businesses, but we collaborate really well.” PFS Engineering was engaged on this project in late 2022, with work continuing through to Q4 2023. “PFS design capability using 3D SolidWorks modelling is a real point of di erence for us,” says Adam. “We have had several projects recently where clients have requested an ECI model – Early Contractor Involvement – because these clients recognise the value PFS provide with full design, procurement, manufacturing and installation service. That’s been a big part of our growth.” Contract manufacturing is another fast growing area for PFS Engineering. Over the past 18 months, the workshop team has been building and assembling side loading wheelie-bin rubbish trucks for distribution into the New Zealand market. “We’re building the truck bodies on behalf of a company in Australia,” says Chris Hart, PFS Engineering Manager - Forestry & Waste. “For them, it is a big saving on freight while, at the same time, they can use our expertise in contract manufacturing. We are also building waste products for them like compactor bins and materials handling.” PFS Engineering gained Steel Fabrication Certi ication in 2021, in line with international best practice. The award winning company meets all relevant ISO standards for their industry. In 2024, this industry innovator continues to prove its pedigree while also adding to economic growth as a large employer and key supporter of local suppliers.
