From Hamilton’s industrial landscape, Latham Steel stands as a trusted manufacturer and supplier of high-performance steel solutions. Our specialty lies in providing top-tier Abrasion Resistant (AR) sheet and plate, engineered to meet the toughest challenges faced by New Zealand’s key industries. We understand that in demanding environments, durability is not a luxury but a necessity, and our focus is on delivering materials that extend the life of your equipment and enhance operational efficiency right here in the Waikato and beyond.
This high-strength material is carefully alloyed with elements like chromium and carbon to create an incredibly hard-wearing surface. This specific composition results in outstanding mechanical properties, including exceptional resistance to gouging, deformation, and impact. The plate’s remarkable toughness ensures it can withstand constant, heavy abrasion, maintaining its structural integrity far longer than conventional steel, which directly translates to less downtime and lower long-term costs for your operation.
