Our Kawerau branch has developed a strong reputation within the local community over the past 20 years. With extensive experience in delivering advanced electrical solutions, we have established ourselves as a trusted provider to key industries in the region. These industries include industrial manufacturing, pulp and paper, water and wastewater, infrastructure, and geothermal energy throughout the Eastern Bay of Plenty.
Under the leadership of Branch Manager, Alex Bruintjes, our Kawerau team is well-equipped to efficiently allocate resources to support projects of all sizes across the Bay of Plenty and Waikato regions, leveraging the combined capabilities and talent of our branches in Tauranga, Rotorua, and Hamilton.
In July 2015, McKay completed the acquisition of Tenix Kawerau, a significant utility contractor and business unit of Downer Group. Recognising the unit’s exceptional personnel and expertise, Downer aimed to ensure a smooth transition to a company that would support and enhance the team and capabilities in Kawerau, ensuring continuous excellent service to their clients.
This acquisition strengthened McKay’s presence in the central North Island, while also introducing the innovative capabilities for which McKay is renowned to the Bay of Plenty region.
Following the acquisition, McKay Kawerau secured a notable $1 million full design and build contract with Asaleo Care for the upgrade of the Kawerau Paper Machine Drive 2, marking the beginning of several high-profile electrical projects in the area.
