STEEL & METAL FABRICATION IN AUCKLAND
Custom Metal Fabrication Built for Auckland Manufacturers
When a critical component fails or a project calls for something that doesn’t exist off the shelf, you need a fabricator who can actually deliver. Logan Potts & Associates provides custom metal fabrication entirely in-house at our Wiri workshop, combining nearly 20 years of hands-on engineering experience with the equipment to see a job through from raw material to finished part.
Whether you need a single replacement bracket machined to fit legacy equipment or a full production run of structural components, our metal fabrication services are built to deliver fast turnaround and a single expert team for ongoing support.
Materials and Capabilities
Our workshop handles the full range of steel fabrication services, as well as work in other metals where the application calls for it. We fabricate in:
- Mild steel
- Stainless steel (304 & 316)
- Aluminium
- Brass and copper
- Engineering plastics, where a fabricated part calls for it
Material choice is part of the consultation. Stainless steel suits food, beverage, and hygiene-sensitive environments; aluminium is the right call where weight matters; mild steel remains the workhorse for structural and general industrial fabrication. We’ll talk you through the trade-offs before we cut anything.
Fabrication work is backed by our in-house precision water-jet cutting capability, which lets us cut complex profiles and thick plate cleanly and accurately, without the heat distortion associated with other cutting methods. Combined with our CNC machining, this means tight-tolerance parts and clean, weld-ready components come out of the same workshop.
Our Fabrication Process
Every fabrication job follows the same disciplined process:
1. Consultation and Assessment
We review your drawings, CAD files, physical samples, or on-site measurements to understand exactly what’s needed and recommend the right material and method.
2. Cutting and Forming
Using our in-house water jet cutting and CNC equipment, we cut, shape, and prepare components to precise specifications.
3. Welding and Assembly
Our fabricators weld, fit, and assemble components to spec, whether that’s a standalone part or a larger structural assembly.
4. Quality Inspection
Every fabricated component is checked for dimensional accuracy and finish before it leaves the workshop.
5. Delivery or Installation
Parts are packaged and delivered to your schedule, or, where needed, our team can assist directly with fitting and machinery installation support on-site.
Because every stage happens under one roof, there’s no waiting on third-party subcontractors and no gaps in communication between design and delivery.
Industries We Serve
Our engineering and fabrication Auckland clients span a wide range of sectors, including:
- Food, beverage, and brewery manufacturing
- Packaging and processing equipment
- Hydraulic and industrial systems
- General manufacturing and production facilities
Many of our clients come to us because imported or ageing equipment needs custom machine parts that simply aren’t available locally, or because existing machinery needs a fabricated fix to keep a production line running. There’s no job too small and no minimum order quantity.
Quality and Turnaround You Can Rely On
Auckland manufacturers can’t afford to wait weeks for a fabricated part while a production line sits idle. Because we handle cutting, machining, welding, and assembly in-house, we control our own timelines rather than being at the mercy of subcontractors or overseas suppliers.
Every component is inspected before it leaves our workshop to confirm it meets your specifications, and if a fabricated part needs to integrate with existing equipment, we can also provide ongoing machinery repair services to keep things running long after the initial job is done.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between metal fabrication and CNC machining?
Metal fabrication generally covers cutting, forming, welding, and assembling metal into a finished structure or component, while CNC machining removes material from a solid block to produce a precise part. Many jobs use both. For example, water jet cutting and welding to build an assembly, followed by CNC machining to finish a mating surface to tight tolerance. Our workshop offers both under one roof, so you don’t need to coordinate between separate suppliers.
Can you fabricate a part without an original design or drawing?
Yes. We regularly fabricate replacement or custom parts from physical samples, photos, or on-site measurements when original documentation isn’t available, which is common with older equipment or machinery imported from overseas with limited technical documentation.
How long does custom metal fabrication take in Auckland?
Turnaround depends on the complexity of the job and the materials involved, but because cutting, welding, and machining are all done in-house, we avoid the delays that come with outsourcing individual stages. Simple components can often be turned around quickly, while larger structural or multi-part jobs are scoped with a clear timeline upfront during consultation.
Do you take on small or one-off fabrication jobs, or only large projects?
Both. We fabricate everything from a single replacement bracket to major structural and production-line projects, with no minimum order quantity. Many of our fabrication jobs are urgent, one-off repairs for equipment that can’t wait for a standard supply chain.
