Holster Engineering Welcomes Maintenance Engineers
The weather wasn’t friendly but the welcome at Holster Engineering certainly was when a 30 strong crowd of engineers
descended on the Tokoroa’s Holster Engineering for the Maintenance Engineering Society’s Kaeser Compressors Network
Evening.
Bruce, Marty and the staff, 10 of who have been with the company for more than 22 years, provided refreshments and a
well appreciated BBQ for those that had made the trek to the South Waikato.
The Kaeser Compressors Network Evening series is as much about highlighting the capabilities of local companies as it is
about spectacular achievements or interesting maintenance challenges and the Holster Engineering evening did not pull up
short on providing reassurance to local clientele. From the heavy machine shop with a 50T capacity chuck to the 12m
centre lathe, horizontal borer, the light machine shop, metal spray shop and cranes, it was obvious that this crew is
experienced, ready and capable. Not only in Tokoroa though, the team maintain a prepacked box of site gear ready to do
onsite metal spray repair anywhere in New Zealand. Now that’s pre-planning!
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.
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.
