Skellerns Foundries

Proud to support our valued partner Track Industries Ltd. Please take some time to read this article showcasing their range of NZ manufactured pumps that are time proven in our agricultural industry.

Building on our reverse engineering skills and our previous experience with a similar casting from 8 years ago, Skellerns has recently cast two additional 8-cylinder Bugatti Type 57 engine blocks. Our customer delivered us fully prepared hard sand moulds ready for us to pour clean molten cast iron into the moulds. The cooled castings were then fettled and machined to create a couple of “as new” engine blocks for this mighty Italian masterpiece.

Skellerns were recently engaged by The Hauraki District Council to undertake the repairs to this fabulous statue in Waihi.
We manufactured new castings in silicone bronze to replace the broken and lost Taiaha and Patu.
Our team then travelled to Waihi to weld the new parts on, then undertake careful art finishing and patina work to make the new parts look like they were always there.
