South Auckland — stretching from Manukau and Papatoetoe down through Takanini to Papakura — is home to a dense concentration of manufacturing, engineering, and trade businesses. It's the part of Auckland where real things get made, and where the demand for industrial finishing, surface protection, and coating services is constant.
Coating Lab has worked with South Auckland businesses for years. The motorway connection between Onehunga and South Auckland makes it practical: load up, head north on SH1, and you're with us in minutes. We understand that production schedules don't wait, and we work to turn jobs around as quickly as we can.
