About

From its humble beginnings, Gibbons Engineering has evolved into a renowned household name over the course of 25 years. What began as Shane’s solo efforts has blossomed into a dedicated team comprising over thirteen full-time members, many of whom have been integral to the company’s journey for several years. Each member shares a commitment to upholding the founding principles of quality that define Gibbons Engineering.

The team boasts a diverse range of skills, including qualified engineers, proficient welders, and apprentices eager to learn and contribute. This collective expertise ensures a consistent delivery of high-quality workmanship, reflecting the values upon which Gibbons Engineering was built.

Driven by a relentless pursuit of quality, Gibbons Engineering has emerged as the premier manufacturer of ute decks and commercial trailers in the central North Island over the past quarter-century. However, the company’s scope extends beyond this specialisation. Recognised as a versatile general engineering firm, Gibbons Engineering undertakes a wide array of steel fabrication projects and specialises in commercial building construction.

What was once synonymous solely with commercial trailers and ute decks has now expanded to encompass leadership in general engineering and commercial building fabrication. The Gibbons Engineering name is synonymous with excellence across a broad spectrum of engineering endeavors.
