Today the Taurus team made our annual Christmas food donation to the Christchurch City Mission.
This time of year can be really tough for some, so it’s nice to be able to help take the load off and give a bit of support where it’s needed most.
A big thank you to the incredible Christchurch City Mission team and volunteers for the work you do year-round to support our community.

We are pleased to announce that Taurus has achieved Totika safety certification, marking another milestone.
Totika is New Zealand’s nationally recognised health and safety pre-qualification scheme, simplifying the process for suppliers and contractors to meet health and safety standards. By achieving this certification, Taurus demonstrates its commitment to workplace safety and efficiency, aligning with industry best practices and gaining recognition across multiple sectors. This also underscores our commitment to maintaining high safety standards within the industry.
This certification not only enhances our market competitiveness but also strengthens customer trust in our services. We will continue to dedicate ourselves to providing safe and reliable engineering solutions, ensuring that all projects meet the highest safety standards.
Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting Ms. Ke Jiang and her team from the University of Canterbury at our Taurus workshops. They are conducting research on the potential long-term cost benefits of using stainless steel in rail bridges, despite the high initial costs.
Taurus, with our extensive experience in manufacturing and our workshops for both stainless steel and carbon steel, is excited to potentially play a role in this important research project.
“Our collaboration aims to leverage our manufacturing expertise to support innovative research that could lead to more cost-effective and durable solutions in the rail industry,” said General Manager, Shane Smith.
Taurus underwent a SIRI Assessment conducted by LMAC. This comprehensive evaluation provided us with valuable insights, allowing us to benchmark our manufacturing processes against local and global standards. By identifying our strengths and areas for improvement, we can better prioritize development efforts and resources.
The SIRI Assessment (Smart Industry Readiness Index) is a structured framework involving three core elements of the Industry 4.0 revolution: process, technology, and organization. It helps manufacturers benchmark against peers, identify strengths and weaknesses, and develop a digital transformation roadmap.
We are grateful to the LMAC team for their expertise and support, which has provided us with such an in-depth and valuable assessment.
