Case Study: GH Engineering achieves faster, higher-throughput structural steel cutting with Hypertherm XPR300 and Plazmax

GH Engineering solves structural steel fabrication challenges with X-Definition plasma

GH Engineering, a New Zealand-based metal fabricator for the structural steel industry, faced a challenge with increased demand for large, heavy components. Their existing plasma cutting setup from Hypertherm was too small, forcing them to outsource work, which increased costs and reduced control over production timelines.

The solution was a Plazmax CutPro HS cutting table fully integrated with Hypertherm’s XPR300 X-Definition plasma system, EDGE Connect CNC, and ProNest software. This allowed GH Engineering to bring all cutting in-house, significantly reducing production time and increasing throughput and profits. The investment from Hypertherm future-proofed their business and enabled them to expand their services throughout New Zealand's North Island.
