Welcome to our new Young 88 Division sponsor Primero Profiles
Primero Profiles are a Steel plate processing company with the ability to cut and fold flat carbon steel plate into any shape. We supply, Structural, Transport & General engineering companies and also supply the odd cut out steel sculpture.
We take flat rectangular shaped carbon steel plate, in thickness ranging from 2mm to 200mm, and cut that steel to our customer’s requirements. Our customers are wide and varied and include companies engaging in structural engineering, civil or general engineering and the transport industry. We also supply the odd cut steel plate for sculptures and the DIY repair man. We have a pressbrake machine amongst our extensive machinery range which allows us to then fold steel into angular shapes as required by our customers.
If you work in the Engineering industry we want to hear from you! Also if you need a barbarque plate, give us a bell, we like those enquiries too. You can find us here.
Our aim is to deliver a regatta that yachties want! The Auckland Regatta Trust welcomes feedback and suggestions.
