AH Gears Impresses Maintenance Engineers
When you have attendees coming from as far away as Taranaki, Waikato and Thames to attend a Kaeser Compressors Network
Evening you know you have something special. When the hosts travel all day by plane and car just to help out on the
night you also know you have a special team.
AH Gears are New Zealand’s leading large industrial gear specialists and the sheer size and range of what they achieve
in their Penrose machine shop made attending well worth the effort when the Maintenance Engineering Society returned for
the second hosted network evening. The Technology displayed at A H gears had the many engineers amazed at what was being
produced and repaired. Many of the gears and gearboxes were huge and the machines to produce them very impressive.
A generational company founded by Andy Horsfall and now managed by son David Horsfall, AH Gears is ISO 9001 accredited
and provides high quality gear services to industry with gear cutting, precision cnc gear grinding, gearbox servicing
and design.
The MESNZ Kaeser Compressors Network Evenings are hosted to showcase local operations 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 well as learning firsthand about the capabilities and global
achievements of AH Gears, the attendees enjoyed much appreciated light refreshments kindly supplied by the AH Gears
team..
The Maintenance Engineering Society is active across New Zealand, providing professional development opportunities for
maintenance engineers and manufacturing operations to network and share innovations and experiences; both at a national
level at their annual national conference or at these regional events. The 2017 National Maintenance Engineering
Conference will be held at the Claudelands Event Centre, Hamilton in November.
