Winstone Wallboards Factory
Tauriko
We partnered with Canadian plant and equipment specialists, Gypsum Technologies, on the construction of the Bay of Plenty Winstone Wallboards factory. We were the lead installers for the mechanical process plant - a role that included fabrication, installation, construction and commissioning.
