ABOUT MSME

The MSME crew have been bending, cutting and welding metal in Auckland for over 20 years. While other workshops take shortcuts, these fellas do proper custom fabrication that actually fits first time.

  • Custom Fabrication - Steel, stainless, aluminium, copper & brass
  • Structural Steel - Beams, posts & frames to spec
  • CAD Design - In-house technical drawings
  • Onsite Service - We measure, fabricate & install

No cookie-cutter solutions - just quality metalwork that's made to last and fits like a glove.

What We Needed to Overcome

MSME needed to cut through Auckland's crowded metalwork market and get in front of serious clients, that wanted proper custom fabrication, not just quick welding jobs.

Tirekickers

Separating real projects from tirekickers expecting $200 welds for $8,000+ fabrication jobs.

  • No quick fixes for structural metalwork
  • No "just weld it together" customers
  • Serious custom fabrication only
  • Engineered solutions, not quick jobs

Cowboys

Standing out from cowboys and backyard welders calling themselves fabricators.

  • 20+ years of real metalwork experience
  • Proper engineering calculations
  • Structural steel certification
  • Not a garage operation

Quality

Finding commercial clients ready to invest properly. Minimum $6,000 projects only.

  • Confirmed structural steel needs
  • Investment mindset, not expense
  • Precision fabrication wanted
  • Complex metalwork projects

Better Targeting

Getting in front of the right businesses in Auckland.

  • Commercial & industrial focus
  • Quality metal projects
  • Budget-capable contractors
  • Precision-focused standards

How We Tackled the Challenge

MSME's problem wasn't their metalwork skills - it was connecting with the right blokes.
