How we started
Scott’s Steelworkz Ltd started as a contracting company working for local businesses and maintenance shuts at the local Steel Mill. Scott came across Waterjet Cutting Machines and became intrigued by them. Believing in the technology's potential for its versatility and application, he made it his goal to own one.
Scott and Joanne travelled to China to see the machines in action. They had the chance to see the demonstration of two machines for themselves and were impressed. Eventually, they imported a Vichor Abrasive Waterjet Cutting Machine and set it up at their first workshop on Kitchener Road in Waiuku. Since then, SSW has developed a great relationship with Vichor Waterjet Machinery Co. Ltd.
Scott and Joanne's philosophy of "no time for regrets" encouraged them to pursue this opportunity. They worked hard over five years to grow their business, and today they employ two qualified tradesmen to help Scott manage the workshop. The support of the local community and customers, who often recommend SSW to their friends, has been invaluable to their success.
