Local Service Provider Impresses Engineering Peers

Local Service Provider Impresses Audience of Engineering Peers.

Drury forging and engineering company S.A.F.E. recently hosted members of the Maintenance Engineering Society of New Zealand in an after-hours show-all as part of the society’s regional Network Evening series.

Designed to showcase local suppliers and provide networking opportunities for engineers across all regions of New Zealand, the evenings offer the opportunity to take a look at the host operation and discuss common issues and solutions in a relaxed after work environment. Open to interested members of the public, the nights are well patronised as proven at the Drury premises of S.A.F.E with over 80 people registering for the December evening.

The team at S.A.F.E., led by industry expert Barry Robinson, provided a spectacular demonstration of the forging process, while attendees also took the time to investigate the site’s metallurgy provider, solar power supply and a display of the potential of the cutting edge sintered titanium process. To wrap up the evening, the legacy of S.AF.E as a Kiwi “can do” company was no better demonstrated by the family based team cooking a sumptuous sheep on the spit using their own solar powered heat treatment ovens.

As well as learning first hand tips on forging, metallurgy and the capabilities of the 45 year old business, the audience benefited from the opportunity to network with their peers, taking new connections and solutions back to their workplaces.

The Maintenance Engineering Society is active across New Zealand, providing opportunities for maintenance engineers and manufacturing operations to network and share innovations and experiences; both at a national level at their annual
conference or at these regional events. The 2015 National Maintenance Engineering Conference will be held at Hamilton in November 2015.
