BLM Engineering ENGINEERING BLM Engineering has been a cornerstone of Morrinsville’s industrial landscape since the 1940s, and under the leadership of new managing director Ryan Marra, the business has entered an exciting phase of growth and innovation. Having officially taken the reins in June 2023, Ryan is steering BLM into the future while maintaining the legacy that has made it a trusted name in steel fabrication in the Waikato region and beyond for the past 80 years. “Our promise is to build value into every project, while delivering professional expertise, exceptional customer service and quality engineering,” Ryan says. Currently employing 33 skilled professionals, BLM Engineering is focused on delivering complete, end-to-end project management. From design and fabrication through to certification, the team offers a full-service approach tailored to complex industrial needs. BLM Engineering supports a diverse customer base, including food and beverage manufacturers, meatworks, industrial chemical companies, and transport businesses. Its reputation is built on a strong foundation of quality workmanship and wide-ranging engineering capabilities. These capabilities include the manufacture of stainless steel pressure vessels and piping, dairy and hygiene process tubing and tanks, precision food and beverage manufacturing equipment, balustrades and handrails, marine equipment repairs, architectural manufacturing and polishing. A key milestone for BLM under Ryan’s leadership has been the acquisition of Pinto Trailers in June 2024. Manufacturing is now fully in-house, adding another dimension to the product range. With BLM Engineering joining forces with heavy diesel mechanic businesses HTSL and CDS under the Industry Growth Partners umbrella, which Ryan also leads, the group can provide clients with an expanded range of services and integrated engineering solutions, including gearbox rebuilding, hydraulic servicing, condition-based monitoring, LT400 repairs and certification, and tipper, trailer and loader modifications, reinforcing their commitment to delivering best-practice solutions alongside expert fabrication. Guided by the core values of ‘Grit, Professional, In Sync’, Ryan’s vision is clear: targeted growth in key sectors, such as transport engineering and food processing, supported by cohesive internal collaboration and strong customer relationships. “Better together” is more than a mantra – it’s how BLM Engineering operates daily. As Ryan leads the company into its next chapter, clients can expect the same level of trusted service, backed by modern innovation and an expanded capability set. While BLM Engineering is keeping its commitment to project management, design, carbon steel fabrication and stainless steel under Ryan’s guidance, it is also determined to narrow the focus into transport engineering and food processing. “As we look forward to a future packed with fresh ideas, community connections and top-quality solutions, we want you to be a part of the ride,” Ryan says. “Together, let’s build on a legacy of awesome engineering that lasts.” Industrial Painting • Protective Coatings • Coating Restoration • Specialised Painting • Heavy Machinery • Structural Steel • Rust and paint removal • Surface preparation • Restoration of historical structures • Cleaning and maintenance of industrial equipment • Abrasive blasting services Contact Us! 027 535 0700 Admin@micoatings.co.nz Proudly Supporting BLMEngineering Ltd
