From humble beginnings in 1955, two hardworking marine engineers, Bob Page and Mac (George) Macrae, realised their vision of creating an engineering business. This was the birthplace of what is now one of New Zealand’s leading engineering companies, Page Macrae Engineering.
They recognised their engineers as innovators, fostering their potential. They also listened to their clients and met their challenges head-on.
Today, we proudly encourage innovation by mentoring tomorrow’s talent. One of our top priorities for the success and sustainability of our future generations, is to train apprentice engineers and upskill our workforce. Our apprenticeship programme has one of the largest intakes for a privately-owned company in New Zealand and has been training young engineers for over 60 years.
Many former Page Macrae apprentices can now be found in engineering firms around New Zealand with many of our ‘family’ working around the world, engineering incredible things.
As the legacy of this family-owned mechanical engineering icon moves to the future, the 200 plus ‘family members’ on our team lead the way in providing innovative solutions.
Our depth of talent in Engineering Services has seen our involvement in widespread industry infrastructure and process projects.
Our focus on innovation and collaboration in Port Equipment provides diverse offerings with an environmental focus on bulk materials handling equipment.
Our expertise in Production Manufacturing instils a sense of pride that these services can still be provided successfully in New Zealand.
The company is not sitting still. As we move forward, we are engineering solutions around environmental measurement and compliance, looking to harness the power of the Internet of Things, capturing and using data, and embedding energy efficiencies into our solutions.
But some things never change. Still a family owned business, we thrive on making the difficult possible for our clients – while recognising we are still only as good as the people that work here.

OJI FIBRE SOLUTIONS KINLEITH MILL – NOVEMBER 2019 SHUTDOWN
“A great job by Page Macrae Engineering, many other contractors and the team at Kinleith in delivering a safe, on time and on budget annual shutdown. The new gold standard.”
Managing Director | AG Walter & Sons | Auckland
SKATE TABLE
“We believe the Skate Table’s smart design and the high-quality manufacture has set a benchmark and reinforced our position in a very competitive industry. The Skate Table has unquestionably made a difference to our operation. Beforehand, the operation was limited to the time it took to extract the goods out of the container. Now the bottleneck lies with the availability of sufficient trucks to unload.”

MAINTENANCE SHUTDOWN KINLEITH PULP & PAPER MILL
“The quality of your company’s workmanship has proved to be first class. That is down to your own leadership and supervision, and to the quality of employees you have.”
“…I can tell you that 2 Pulp/BP was the only area across the entire mill that came in on time… the area was left in the best condition they have seen in over 15 years post any shut, and that is despite this being the largest number of work orders anyone can remember being executed… it is a real reflection of your professionalism.”

TREE HARVESTERS
“Page Macrae Engineering has over 20 years’ experience with high tensile fabrication work specific to the forestry industry. This experience is invaluable to our products’ durability in harsh conditions… It’s the small things that Page Macrae Engineering do well… I guess with their experience they understand the product application and get to know the areas of importance where care must be taken – and this experience is crucial.”
Hydro-Mechanical Maintenance Specialist | Mercury

“I just wanted to say thank you for your support and responsiveness in assisting us with this Penstock Priming Valve and flange replacement at Maraetai 1. There has been a lot of focus on this as there was only a short timeframe to carry out the repair. Page Macrae Engineering again has proven to be a highly valued service provider and I sincerely appreciate it.”

PAGE MACRAE LOGLIFTERS
“We have been using Page Macrae Engineering Log Lifters for over 10 years, and don’t replace them, we just add to the number we have as our business grows. They last very well and get a lot of punishment without any damage – you certainly get your money’s worth out of them.”
Projects Manager | Northern Stevedoring Services | Qld | Australia
PAGE MACRAE LOGLIFTERS
“Safety is critical when lifting logs, and the Page Macrae Engineering Log Lifter’s latching system and well-balanced plunger makes a very safe piece of equipment for this operation.”
Patrick Stevedoring Pty Ltd | Australia

Their strong customer service mindset was clear at all times and was key to the success of this project.”
