Work has begun today on a new production facility for marine propulsion manufacturer HamiltonJet. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on site in Lunns Road, Christchurch, on Thursday, June 27.
The new plant, which will be situated on the same site as the organisation’s existing facility, will have a footprint of 7,320 square metres. It is being built in response to the firm’s continued growth both domestically in New Zealand and in the global market including the US, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
With an estimated 12- to 15-month build time, and a six-month window for the equipment installation, the production facility is scheduled to be fully operational by April 2026. It will house new technologically-advanced facilities including CNC machining equipment and a safer, more efficient paint process. The facility will also be built with ready capacity for future installation of rooftop solar panels.
