Real Steel, has commenced construction on a brand-new, purpose-built 7,700m² steel processing facility in the Hautapu Industrial Park (Cambridge) strategically located in the heart of the Golden Triangle adjacent to State Highway 1.
The new greenfields factory has been designed from the ground up for optimum workflow, efficiency, and sustainability. The investment will enable Real Steel to install some of the largest and most advanced steel processing machinery available in the Southern Hemisphere, opening the door to new ways of designing and building with steel.
“This development is about building NewZealand’s future in steel,” said Luke Mathieson, Managing Director of Real Steel. “Hautapu’s central location means we can deliver to our customers more quickly and efficiently than ever before, while our investment in cutting-edge technology will redefine what’s possible for NZ manufacturing.”
Located within the fast-growing Hautapu Industrial Zone — a hub for logistics, manufacturing, and innovation — the facility will serve customers across the Waikato, Auckland, and surrounding regions with unmatched speed and reliability.
“We’re gnot just adding capacity, we’re reshaping how steel is processed and delivered in New Zealand,” Mathieson added. “This factory will be a catalyst for innovation, efficiency, and growth — for Real Steel, for our customers, and for the broader manufacturing sector.”
