Flying the flag for local manufacturing
18 Nov 2024
Industrial Tube Manufacturing were pleased to host Hon. Minister Andrew Bayly, the Minister for Small Business & Manufacturing, at our Hamilton facility in November.
During the visit, Minister Bayly toured our 12,500m2 plant, viewing key operations such as coil slitting, Precision Tube and Stainless Tube mills and the value-added division, which includes our BLM LT7 Laser cutter.
We discussed the critical role of locally manufactured tube products in supporting industries like horticulture, dairy and food processing as well as the challenges posed by imports from Asia. It’s certainly a topic we are passionate about.
We appreciated Andrew Bayly’s time, and his ongoing dedication to strengthening New Zealand’s manufacturing sector.
