Coregas New Zealand has strengthened its position in the industrial gas market with the establishment of a new dissolved acetylene plant in Waikato. This major investment reflects Coregas’ commitment to the growing New Zealand market, ensuring a more reliable local supply and faster service for customers across the country.
As demand for acetylene continues to rise, Coregas has transitioned from importing acetylene to producing and filling cylinders in-house. This shift enhances supply security and reduces lead times. The new plant features a state-of-the-art Rexarc skid-mounted system, delivering high-quality acetylene while offering the flexibility to scale production as the market expands.
Coregas New Zealand Strengthens Local Operations
“This investment is all about delivering certainty to our customers,” says Peter Neate, Coregas NZ General Manager. “By producing acetylene locally, we’re reducing our reliance on imports and providing businesses with a stable, high-quality supply they can depend on.”
The investment also reinforces Coregas’ commitment to supporting key industries, including welding, manufacturing, and engineering. Acetylene is a crucial component in these sectors, and the ability to produce it locally strengthens Coregas’ ability to meet customer needs with greater efficiency and responsiveness. Additionally, the plant plays a vital role in supplying the Bunnings Trade N Go Gas network, ensuring continued availability of essential gases for businesses and tradespeople.
“The ability to scale production locally means we’re future-proofing supply,” Peter explains. “We can adapt quickly to changes in demand, ensuring our customers always have access to the gas they need.”
By bringing acetylene production closer to its customers, Coregas is setting a new benchmark for supply reliability and service excellence in New Zealand. This expansion marks an important milestone, positioning Coregas for long-term growth while providing the local market with a stable and efficient source of acetylene for years to come.
