Juted Holdings Ltd has made a significant investment in the future of offsite construction with the expansion and rebrand of its Waihi manufacturing operation as Juted Frame & Truss (JFT).
Supporting Mitre 10 MEGA Tauranga, Rotorua and Waihi, the move was driven by growing demand from the trade market, and the need to increase manufacturing capacity, improve lead times, and broaden the range of prefabricated building solutions available to builders across the upper North Island.
Rather than replacing the original frame and truss plant, the investment has seen the development of a second, purpose-built manufacturing facility on the same Waihi site, allowing both plants to operate in parallel. This dual-plant model has significantly increased overall production capacity while maintaining continuity of supply for existing customers.
The new facility incorporates modern manufacturing equipment and expanded floor space, complementing the established operation, and enabling greater throughput, efficiency and scalability.
With investment in an automated Computer-Numerical-Controlled (CNC) saw, a new commercial framing line, and advanced design software, Juted Frame & Truss can now deliver a wider range of manufactured solutions, including frame and truss, floor cassettes, and other prefabricated building components.
While continuing to service its local trade customers, JFT is now also supporting Mitre 10 stores across the Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions, with the capability to extend supply as demand grows.
The expansion has supported growth in the local workforce, with additional skilled manufacturing and technical roles created as production volumes continue to increase. Today, Juted Frame & Truss supplies projects ranging from small garages and renovations through to large multi-unit developments, offering builders consistent quality, reliable delivery and improved programme certainty.
Looking ahead, JFT aims to continue building capability across both facilities, strengthening its role as a regional manufacturing partner, and supporting the construction industry through innovation, efficiency and sustainable offsite solutions.
