SAM Machinery

Well said 💛

Back from the South Island field days preparing for the next, bring on Central districts. Got to keep the secret a bit longer 🤫 

On the right, Manohar Lal.
25 years as a machinist at SAM.
Steel, precision, pride.
Now retired… but his fingerprints are still on this place.

In the middle, Omka Lal.
32 years and still leading from the front.
Our Head Machinist, running both manual machines and high-end CNC lathes.
Holding the standard his father set.

On the left, AJ Lal.
Five years in.
He runs our stainless steel fabrication area.
If it’s stainless… he welded it.
The next generation already leaving his mark.

Grandfather.
Father.
Son.

And they’re not the only ones.
We have other multi-generational families here too.
More stories. More history to follow.

This is what 80 years of SAM Machinery really means.

Not just equipment.
Not just engineering.

Another week done ✅
