Exciting times ahead for Fletcher Reinforcing in the South Island Recent changes to the management team at Fletcher Reinforcing in the South Island have the team buzzing about the opportunity to help their customers deliver reinforcing structures quicker and more efficiently. Carl Gould moved from the company’s Auckland plant in 2013 to take over the running of Fletcher Reinforcing in Dunedin. Over the last few years, customers have seen the improvement in service and the company’s ability to deliver reinforcing steel to site when needed and as ordered. On the back of that success, Carl has now moved in to a role to manage both the Dunedin and Christchurch operations for Fletcher Reinforcing. Malcolm Halstead remains with the company and has accepted the challenge to run the detailing team nationally. Under one manger, the Dunedin and Christchurch sites will be aligned to work as one team under Carl’s leadership. This means that when orders are placed for reinforcing steel, customers have the extra confidence that if one site is busy, they know it will still be produced on time from the second site and shipped up or down as required. Not only does this mean customers have access to the extra machine capacity, but the skills and experience of 2 teams is also coming together. Detailers, estimators, production and placing all as one combined team. In the Christchurch production facility, Fletcher Reinforcing has recently invested in some state of the art processing machinery that can “spit out” house lots of steel in a timeframe that no-one else in New Zealand can do. Further investment is on the cards to keep the facilities ahead of the competition. Fletcher Reinforcing can also offer an exciting range of accessory products from the leading global brands: Max Frank and Ancon. Iain Osborne based at the Christchurch site is available to help with all your needs for sacrificial formwork (Pecafil), working joints in slabs (Stremaform), concrete spacers compliant to AS/NZS 2425:2015 and metric bar coupling systems (Ancon).
