As a company that has provided motion and control engineering solutions and services to the marine industry for over 25 years, we are proud to again sponsor the Seafarers Memorial Trust, who bring us the Blessing of the Fleet each year.

This annual event is an important occasion for us to honour those who have worked tirelessly in this industry, past and present. It highlights our ongoing commitment to innovative motion and control engineering solutions that keep people safe and drive progress.

Join us as we pay tribute to the community that makes our seas safer!

Precision motion and control engineering in action at Nelson Pine Industries.

Danny’s latest project with NPI, built in our Nelson workshop, powers the primary refiner line, transforming woodchips into fibre for MDF production while seamlessly managing both lubrication and hydraulic functions.

It’s a system designed for reliability, efficiency, and performance where it matters most.

Proud to see local engineering delivering real impact on the production line in Nelson Tasman’s primary industries.

We’re proud to be featured in the July issue of DEMM Engineering & Manufacturing Magazine, showcasing our accredited FPS SAFESTOP Safety System – the “Rolls Royce of safety systems,” according to skipper of MacLab’s vessel, the Vanguard, Stoney Bourke.

Developed by FPS Director, Gary Allen and manufactured right here in Nelson, SAFESTOP combines proactive and reactive safety modules that can be customised for any hydraulic environment – new or existing. The result? A huge step forward in reducing user error and protecting staff.

Read the full DEMM feature to discover how SAFESTOP works, its customisable modules, and why it’s setting a new standard in hydraulic safety in New Zealand.
