Introducing Milmeq

Global pioneers in the design of technologies for food processing companies

Milmeq specialises in delivering capital plant equipment for food processing operations around the world. We provide a turn-key service, including design, manufacturing, installation and maintenance.

Our areas of expertise include primary food processing, chilling and freezing and materials handling. We provide performance-enhancing solutions to clients across industries including meat, poultry, dairy, seafood, horticulture and more.

We have a proud history of providing refrigeration and engineering services to food processors for more than 60 years.

Having already established ourselves as industry leaders in our homeland, New Zealand, which is renowned for its meat and dairy exporting industry, we are now recognised globally for offering world class technologies and support systems.

Capability OverviewWith a combination of expertise in refrigeration, mechanical engineering, process design, control systems and analysis, Milmeq provides a comprehensive service to food processing operations.

We have the capability and experience to identify needs and develop solutions to meet these, custom-designing and manufacturing equipment to meet our clients’ specific requirements.

We have offices in Auckland, Dunedin and Brisbane, and manufacturing operations in both Dunedin and Auckland.

Innovation FocusAs a company, Milmeq has a core focus on innovation.

Daily innovation is at the heart of what we do, developing unique custom solutions to help our clients achieve superior levels of performance and constantly challenging the status quo to find better ways of doing things.

Throughout the years, our innovation focus has seen us pioneer a number of new technologies which have gone on to become industry standards. These include chilling and freezing tunnels, plate freezers, the inverted lamb processing system and, more recently, the Milmeq fully automated stock transfer (MFAST) system.

PeoplePeople are at the heart of our business, and having the right people with the right attitude is the driving force behind our success.

We have more than 120 staff with a diverse range of skills and expertise across our design, engineering, manufacturing and administration teams, all focused on delivering the highest level of service to our clients.

Our team includes a core group of long serving staff members, who have a sound understanding of the challenges that food processors have been exposed to over the past few decades. We also place focus on recruiting and training junior staff, including graduate engineers and apprentices, who bring with them fresh approaches to finding solutions to current and future challenges.

Health and SafetyHealth and safety is a key area of focus across our business.

We have a real commitment to ensuring that our staff, clients, contractors and suppliers go home safe to their families every day. This is encapsulated in our health and safety promise; your safety first.

Within every team and every department, we place a strong emphasis on putting “safety first” in our daily operations.

We empower and positively influence our employees to achieve an active approach to occupational health, and hazard and incident management. This benefits Milmeq and our clients by fostering a culture of continuous improvement and innovation in health and safety.

When on site, our people ensure they understand and actively follow the client’s safety regulations at all times and work under the direction of the client’s safety officer.

Health and safety is also a core consideration at the design, manufacturing, and pre- and post-commissioning stages of all of the equipment we manufacture and install.
