Situated in Tokoroa, New Zealand, a leading center for forestry activity, Evans Engineering has grown to a medium size heavy engineering establishment in the New Zealand manufacturing sector. Its reputation for service, a key element in the company, started in 1945 when Jack Evans opened a blacksmith shop – this service has continued throughout the company development. During the 1950s Evans Engineering Company Limited was transformed into a general engineering company, with an emphasis on agricultural work. As the company grew with the forestry expansion around it, Evans manufactured earth moving and logging equipment, then in 1980's started to specialize in logging transport. In 2011 Evans won a major contract with Kiwi Rail to mount ExTe bolster systems to their existing carriages. This was a huge undertaking for Evans and not without its share of difficulties, however using previous knowledge and expertise, Evans was able to complete this contract one month ahead of schedule and to the highest standard of professionalism that we expect from our staff.
