In 1993, Yunca Engineering was established, and began supplying products and services to New Zealand Aluminium Smelters in 1994 when they were approached by Tiwai Aluminium Smelter situated at Tiwai Point in Southland, New Zealand.

The long standing association with Tiwai smelter has enabled Yunca Engineering to fine tune its practices to a high standard of quality and delivery, resulting in contracts with Boyne and Bell Bay Aluminum Smelters in Australia and Dubai in U.A.E.

Development of resources and expertise has allowed expansion into general, manufacturing, production and maintenance engineering for both NZAS and other regular clients. 

Flexibility in engineering for both ourselves and to meet customer needs requires us to have the most advanced equipment on the market today.

QUALITY CONTROL

Strongly developed in-house systems to ensure top end quality systems are constantly being used alongside a comprehensive Health and Safety System.

Yunca are members of the NZ EnviroSmart programme, an initiative by Landcare Research to promote Health, Safety and Environmental issues.
