Backing Bay Rugby for another big season!
Jensen Steel is proud to be back supporting Bay of Plenty Rugby and once again backing the number 9 / halfback jersey for both the Steamers and Volcanix in 2026.

We love getting behind local sport, local talent and the teams that bring our region together. From the first whistle to the final play, we’ll be cheering loud for the Steamers and Volcanix this season.

Here’s to the players, coaches, supporters and everyone who makes Bay rugby what it is.

Let’s go Bay!

….The Steamers prepare for their second game of the season, taking on Northland on Saturday - let’s go boys!!

Why does local steel fabrication matter for New Zealand construction projects?

It’s about more than where the steel is made. Choosing a local fabrication partner can help improve communication, support smoother project delivery, reduce supply chain risk, and keep more value within New Zealand businesses and communities.

At Jensen Steel Fabricators, we’re proud to support commercial, industrial and community projects across the Bay of Plenty, Waikato and beyond with locally fabricated structural steel solutions backed by decades of experience.

When planning a construction project, the focus is often on design, cost and delivery. But where the structural steel is fabricated can influence much more than the build itself.

From geothermal power stations to velodromes, timber processing plants to dairy factories and more - we’re proud to see the steel we fabricate helping power, support, and strengthen communities across New Zealand.

While the Bay of Plenty is where we’ve built our roots, our projects have an impact far beyond the region. Our work spans diverse sectors and it doesn’t matter what or where the project is, our involvement is never just about steel. It’s about the long-term impact these projects have on communities, industries, and the country as a whole.

Proud to Give Back
We’re pleased to announce that during our annual Movember Appeal, we’ve donated over $10,000 to local charities, thanks to the combined effort of our team! 🙌

Throughout November, we hold an internal campaign where we donate an amount of money for every hour worked across all our staff, to local causes.

We’ve chosen to support the same local charities from previous years:
👉Live for More – https://liveformore.org.nz
👉BOP Youth Development Trust (TGA Boxing Academy) –
https://www.facebook.com/TaurangaBoxingAcademy
👉Otanewaiuku Kiwi Trust – https://kiwitrust.org

A huge thank you to our team for making this possible - your hard work has made a real difference for these local organisations. We’re proud to continue this tradition and look forward to what we can collectively achieve in 2026!

We’re proud to continue our sponsorship again this year, for the Summer 2025/26 season of senior cricket – the Jensen Steel Baywide T20 Cup.

It’s great to be able to support our local communities like Bay of Plenty Cricket, the players and all those involved in such a fantastic competition.

The competition is well and truly underway – we wish all the teams the best of luck!

November is over, and what a month it was! As part of our annual internal Jensen Steel Fabricators ‘Movember’ Appeal, we spent the month giving back to the community we live and work in.

Instead of growing facial hair, we raised funds by totalling all the hours worked by employees and contractors, with a donation made for every hour worked.

We’re proud to support for following incredible local foundations - Live for More, BOP Youth Development Trust - Tauranga Boxing Academy, and Ōtanewainuku Kiwi Trust.

🌟 Building the Bay - One Project at a Time 🌟

For more than 35 years, we’ve had the privilege of helping shape the places where we all live, work and play. From hospitals and universities to shopping centres, retirement villages, ports and iconic sports facilities - our steel has supported some of the Bay’s most important community spaces.

We’re incredibly proud of the partnerships, people and projects that make this possible. 💙

🔗 Take a look at some of the sectors and standout builds we've been part of, and how they’re helping strengthen our community for future generations.

Helping build and unite communities through our work, has always been an integral part of our business. Since we began more than 35 years ago, we’ve focused on delivering more than structural steel solutions to the projects we’re involved in.

What happens to steel before it gets to site?

When you see steel structures rising and beams being bolted into place on site, that’s just the finishing touches. About 75% of the work we complete happens before steel ever reaches the site - from detailing and fabrication to painting and quality checks.💡

At Jensen Steel, we break down the entire steel fabrication journey and show you what really goes into building strong, reliable steel structures.

When most people see a steel structure rising on site, they often assume that’s where the majority of the work happens. But in reality, that’s just the final stage in a much longer journey.

🌱 Rethinking the way we build starts with the materials we choose.

What if a building’s true sustainability wasn’t just about how long it lasts, but how well it’s designed to change, adapt, or even deconstruct?

Steel doesn’t just stand strong - it stands out as a smarter, more sustainable choice for modern construction.

🔗 Read our latest blog to discover why structural steel is leading the way in adaptable, low impact building design.

As conversations about climate impact and material sustainability gain momentum, the construction industry faces a pivotal opportunity and responsibility - to rethink how we build.
