Waikato
A manufacturing partner to Waikato business
Cutshop® Waikato has cemented its offer as a support to a wide range of businesses and sectors in the rapidly growing Waikato region since 2016.
Customers not only reflect the variety of the local economy, but also the flexibility of Cutshop® as a contract cutting service.
Franchisee Keith Hofer arrived at Cutshop® following an early career in information technology and is now using his experience to power the production side of the manufacturing business to deliver innovative solutions.
“From the cutting of one board to the creation of a complex product it is the combination of programming and production that can help anyone with an idea, bring it to life,” he says.
Factory in the back pocket
The range of projects Cutshop® Waikato has supported in a short space of time, speak for themselves - among them are:
Mini-kitchen fit-outs for a 50 campervans, over an 12-week pre-summer period
Building bobby pens for a Waikato based farm manufacturer
Developing mobile retail units for a Hamilton pharmacy
A turntable desk for a DJ
Producing 85 circular table tops for a large venue based catering company
Providing framework to support an arched bridge construction
Decking for ute and van fit-outs
Working with a toy entrepreneur to build a range of Dinorockers - dinosaur rocking horses
Developing a innovative, multi-mode high chair and standing tower product for toddlers, and parents
“Many people come to Cutshop® wanting us to cut panels for kitchens, cupboards, wardrobes and shelves, and we have become their preferred supplier - this is a big part of our business.
But a lot of people also want us to be their manufacturing partner for a product they’ve thought about or designed, that they want to see as a prototype and then a finished product.”
At Cutshop® Waikato, another job we’ve enjoyed cutting is this black PlyPlay kitchen.
Job done
The variety of what we can do is probably one of the biggest attractions for customers - combining IT and advanced production processes, we operate a very smart factory that’s able to produce everything from a garage shelf to highly sophisticated fit-outs.
