Steel fabrication specialists There is a saying that some ascribe to, that there is ‘no job too big or too small’ and after 50 years in business it couldn’t be more true than for RH King and Sons Ltd. Since starting out in the 1950s RH King and Sons has fabricated everything from steel furniture, construction beams, stainless steel benches and truck-sized commercial ovens to the smallest shelving and design details. Like many innovative Kiwi businesses RH King and Sons started from humble beginnings in the back of a garage, founded by Bob King - a man who grew up in the steel trade supplying fittings during World War II. After becoming a fabrication specialist, Bob set out on his own, to be joined later by his two sons Graham and Grant. The company has expanded and diversified during the years with Graham and Grant at the helm, the business is staffed by a knowledgeable and friendly team of 20. Sales manager Mark Warren says the team is proud to have served many Kiwi businesses during its time. “Several of our clients are still with us into their third generation. We’ve helped our customers through all manner of economic and political eras. “Our skilled team can assist you with stainless steel benchtops, splashbacks, shower trays, tables, commercial kitchens, trolleys, bain maries, handrails, balustrades, furniture bases and legs, wall linings, steel beams, channels, gates, chutes - just about anything else imaginable.” RH King and Sons is happy to provide free quotes, friendly assistance, and suggestions on design concepts. “We pride ourselves on using quality materials from reputable suppliers and use methods that ensure the jobs are completed
to the highest standard. We have had great relationships with our suppliers such as Tata Steel (British Steel originally) for decades and since moving to Gordon Road in Morningside 12 years ago, we have used our friendly neighbours at Carters – St Lukes almost everyday. “Another trusted supplier is Mercer. We go back a long way as most of our staff did their apprenticeships at Mercer in the past and we have used their quality stainless bowls for decades,” Mark explains. With 50 years under the businesses belt RH King and Sons has also been given the manufacturing rights to the AOM (Air and Odour Management) system New Zealand wide and will be involved with installing the new systems. “These systems basically treat the air before it is released into the atmosphere from commercial restaurants and cafés and neutralises the odour using ozone generators and or electrostatic filters,” Mark says. With a number of exciting projects on the horizon and many completed already this year such as new commercial kitchens for Burgerfuel, a number of commercial restaurant kitchens and extraction systems throughout the local area in Auckland.
