Coregas New Zealand, now a Nippon Sanso Company, has completed a major upgrade of its Wiri cylinder filling facility in Auckland, strengthening its ability to provide a more reliable gas supply, faster service, and an expanded product offering. This $2.5 million investment ensures Coregas can better support its growing customer base with increased storage capacity, improved efficiency, and advanced filling technology.
“This investment reinforces our commitment to providing New Zealand businesses with a more secure and efficient gas supply. By increasing our storage capacity and upgrading our filling technology, we’re ensuring our customers get the gas they need, when they need it,” says Peter Neate, Coregas NZ General Manager.
A larger liquid argon storage vessel allows for greater bulk stock availability and improving supply security. New automated filling bays incorporate the latest technology to enable faster, more precise, and more efficient cylinder filling, helping customers receive their gas quicker and with greater accuracy. In some cases, the upgrade has also increased filling capacity, allowing Coregas to service a wider range of customer needs, including the potential to fill higher-pressure cylinders.
Strengthening Operations for the Future
With modern infrastructure replacing manual processes, the Wiri site now operates with improved efficiency, reduced gas losses, and enhanced workplace safety. These improvements not only streamline operations but also ensure Coregas can respond more effectively to customer demand while maintaining the highest quality and safety standards.
“This upgrade is about future-proofing our operations to better serve our customers. We’re building the capacity, reliability, and speed that New Zealand businesses need,” says Peter.
This upgrade marks a crucial step for Coregas, positioning it for future growth while maintaining its commitment to safety and operational excellence. With these improvements, Coregas New Zealand is now better equipped to deliver reliable, high-quality gas solutions to an expanding customer base, reinforcing its industry leadership.
