Custom Made Tanks and Vessels
APS designs and delivers fully integrated tank and mixing systems, custom-built to suit your process requirements. Working with certified local and overseas fabrication partners, we supply tanks and vessels engineered to the highest standards, seamlessly paired with world-leading processing equipment — including Silverson High Shear Mixers.
This collaboration brings high-specification processing systems to our shores, ensuring that local industries can access the same cutting-edge technology used by global leaders.
APS has long been recognised as New Zealand’s trusted supplier for processing and packaging machinery, known for delivering turnkey solutions from concept to commissioning. Olsa, a member of the Masco Group, is a global heavyweight with over 70 years of experience designing and manufacturing complete process systems, particularly for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
While Olsa manufactures high-value assets like GMP-compliant reactors and pressure vessels, APS ensures these complex systems land successfully in New Zealand facilities. This includes managing the mechanical and electrical integration, handling the rigorous validation requirements (IQ/OQ), and providing ongoing local support.
