MULCAHY
MAKES BRIGHT IDEAS REAL
Auckland-based company
Mulcahy Engineering has a slightly
different angle when it comes
to sheet metal processing and
manufacturing.
“We don’t see ourselves as
simply being a supplier, but as
more of a manufacturing partner,”
says managing director, Kayne
Mulcahy. “We’re all about enabling
innovation for our customers, with
industry leading technology and
highly skilled people.”
Mulcahy Engineering can take a
project from an initial concept right
through to delivery – anywhere in
the world.
This partnership approach has
worked well for customers across
a diverse range of industries since
Mulcahy set up business in 1980.
“We were initially focused on the
food and dairy industries,” says
Kayne.
Today, while still actively
involved in those core sectors,
the company’s customer base
encompasses a broad range of
industries. These include materials
handling, original equipment
manufacturing, agriculture,
horticulture, architecture and
general engineering.
“We like to take a collaborative
approach with our customers,”
Kayne says. “We take the time
to fully understand their business
and products and then apply
the technology and experience
we have built over 40 years in
manufacturing to take away their
pain.”
He says that often they’ll start by
providing laser cutting services
to a new client, and then the
relationship will grow as they
add value through down-stream
processing.
Highly skilled and experienced
engineers use the latest software
automation to start any job or
project.
“We then draw on the latest
manufacturing technologies
along-side robust process and
systems to ensure complete
customer satisfaction.”
Mulcahy Engineering’s 6000
square meter plant in West
Auckland has some of the most
advanced technologies in the
world.
Capabilities include laser cutting,
punching, pressing and the full
scope of fabrication services such
as manual and robotic welding,
polishing and machining.

“It’s big,” says Kayne. So big in fact
that the company needed to add a
500 square meter extension to their
existing facility in Avondale to house
it.
Kayne is excited about the
possibilities that the tube laser cutter
can provide to original equipment
manufacturers throughout New
Zealand.
He’s excited too that the addition
of the Trumpf machine to the
company’s capabilities aligns
perfectly with their philosophy of
being a total manufacturing solutions
partner for clients.
“We can handle everything from
initial concept and design through
to production, packing and delivery
– anywhere in the world,” he
says. “We offer a fully integrated
manufacturing solution.”
“With the in-house technology
and skills to match, we can turn
around even the most complex
or large scale projects in a short
time-frame,” says Kayne.
Investment in this technology is
ongoing.
Earlier this year, for example,
the business purchased a new
Trumpf TruLaser Tube 5000 from
Germany to complete their laser
cutting offering.
Kayne points out that while a
partnership approach is the driving
philosophy behind the business,
they’re still more than happy to do
one-off engineering projects.
Whatever the case, customers
can be confident that they’re
getting a quality result. Mulcahy’s
quality management system was
recently certified to ISO9001.
“We take quality seriously,”
says Kayne. This “world class”
philosophy runs through every
aspect of the business – the
people, products, plant and
equipment.
“When customers come to us
for a project, no matter what the
scale, they can have complete
confidence that we will get it done
right, first time.”
The new Trumpf TruLaser Tube
5000 can bevel cut to +-45º
