about routech
Engineering-led. Nelson-based. Built to last the distance.
We noticed a gap. Local engineering, fabrication and joinery businesses needed CNC cutting support they could actually rely on, and it wasn’t there.
Routec was built to close that gap — as a full-package partner, not just an operator running a machine. We combine mechanical design and CAD/CAM programming with precision CNC router cutting, so the work is designed properly before it’s ever cut.
Local, and built to stay that way
We’re based here, and we back local primary industries and trades. Quick turnaround and a straightforward process mean you’re not waiting weeks to get parts in hand.
backed by engineering, not just equipment
Our team brings mechanical engineering experience to every job. That means we’re not just cutting to a file someone else designed — we can help design it, refine it, and manufacture it, start to finish.
What that means for you
- One partner for design and manufacture — no handing your job between different suppliers
- Fast turnaround, without cutting corners
- A local team who understand the industries we serve
- Room to grow with you — from a single prototype to an ongoing manufacturing partnership
