Engineered for business strength It’s been said that in business strength lies in numbers — your staff and clients. But of course it’s not just about quantity, it has to be about quality too. That’s imperative. Following its strategic amalgamation with Hydratech Engineering Ltd, Complete Engineering and Hydraulics ticks both those boxes. This commercial partnership means double the manpower and double the
productivity. Owner and operator Craig Garmonsway had a strong background in the industry prior to establishing Complete Engineering in 1999. “I worked for a business that was doing similar things, so I was able to bring my

skill and knowledge from that experience into my own business,” he says. Since inception, the business has gone from strength to strength. Today it is all about promoting sustainability and energy efficiency within the industry. It offers a hydraulic ram design service ranging from component specification to complete hydraulic system design, fabrication, installation and commissioning. “It is all about looking after the planet at the end of the day — it is going to be around a lot longer than we are, and we need to look after the future generations,” Garmonsway says of the company’s commitment to sustainability.

“Because we take on such a varied array of work, we need strong, competent staff. We have found in the past, that a lot of engineers and machinists have been trained to do one set of things but don’t have a very broad spectrum of skills.” For the future, the business has its eye on further growth. “We ultimately want to continue to grow,” Garmonsway confirms. “When you stop growing, you’re at the risk of becoming stagnant and complacent and then, before you know it, you are going backwards. The plan now is to carry on doing what we have been doing, but even better.”
Quality solutions for your tractor Established in 1961, we have been helping the agricultural community for over 50 years. Several hectares are covered in tractors which get stripped down as we recycle the parts to keep the New Zealand farming fleet moving. More tractors arrive every week and sometimes it is a challenge to find a place to put them. The yard is well organised which really helps to find the part you need. We have a great storage system which moves
