Why Continuous Stainless? 

Scale and adaptability 

Our crew has grown over the years and we've built a team that has worked extensively in commercial environments,  including the dairy and food manufacturing industries, providing high-quality welding, fabrication and fitting services.

Extensive experience

Our staff experience allows us to fabricate a wide range of products from building silos, valve banks and platforms for commercial food production facilities, to building customised items such as handrails and balustrades for residential and commercial properties. 

​Latest technology

Our modern and fully equipped workshop located in Frankton, Hamilton, allows us to fabricate items and then transport them onsite for installation.

For the bigger projects, our mobile workshops allow us to build onsite. This gives us the ability to complete a wide scope of work onsite efficiently and effectively, and to a very high standard. 

Our Story

Humble Beginnings in the Garage

Founded in 2007 by Dean Curle, Continuous Stainless began as a small family business operating out of a home garage. With a strong focus on quality workmanship, the team quickly built a reputation and loyal client base.

As demand grew, so did the need for space. In 2010, CSL moved into a workshop on Kent Street, where the business thrived for six years before expanding again. By 2016, operations shifted to a larger site at 14 High Street in Frankton — the company’s home base to this day.

A New Generation of Directors 

Continuous Stainless has since entered its next chapter of growth, with Matai Kelly and James Hurley joining as Directors in recent years. Their story goes back nearly 20 years, when they met in London while crafting bespoke luxury staircases for some of the city’s most prestigious properties.

Most recently, Beau has joined the leadership team, bringing further expertise and strengthening the company’s ability to meet growing demand.

Combining skills, Client First

With diverse experience spanning industries such as structural, agricultural, mechanical, transport, and architectural fabrication, the leadership team combines its skills to deliver smart, reliable solutions for every client — no matter the size or complexity of the job.
