New Zealand’s manufacturing landscape is unique, characterized by high-quality standards in the marine, dairy, and architectural sectors. From the boat building hubs in Auckland to the agricultural engineering firms in Canterbury, the demand for high-strength, aesthetically clean welds has never been higher. Traditional TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) and MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, while reliable, are often slow and require highly skilled operators—a resource that is increasingly scarce in the local labor market.
The introduction of Handheld Fiber Laser Welders has revolutionized how NZ workshops operate. By providing 4x to 10x faster welding speeds than TIG, these machines allow local businesses to fulfill contracts faster, reduce post-weld grinding by up to 90%, and enable less experienced staff to produce professional-grade seams with minimal training.
Founded in Shenzhen, China, Shenzhen Zico Machine Co., Ltd. (ZICO) is a professional manufacturer and global supplier of advanced industrial machinery. As a leader in the Fiber Laser technology space, we specialize in delivering high-efficiency welding, cutting, and cleaning solutions that meet the rigorous safety and performance requirements of the New Zealand and Australian markets.
Our commitment to E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) ensures that every handheld laser welder leaving our factory is tested under extreme conditions. We don't just sell machines; we provide comprehensive Industrial Solutions that help Kiwi businesses compete on a global stage.
At ZICO, innovation is the driving force. We integrate components from world-leading brands like Raycus, MAX, IPG, and Qilin. Our R&D team focuses on "User Intent Mining"—understanding that a welder in a Christchurch winter needs a different cooling efficiency and ergonomic grip than one in a tropical climate. Our machines are designed for durability, portability, and "Smart" operation.
Aluminum welding is notoriously difficult with MIG. Our 2000W-3000W fiber laser welders provide deep penetration and high-quality finishes for hull construction and marine-grade stainless fittings in Auckland's busy shipyards.
In the Waikato region, hygiene is paramount. Laser welding creates ultra-smooth, crevice-free joints in stainless steel milk vats and processing lines, eliminating bacteria traps common in traditional welds.
For ductwork and architectural sheet metal, the 3-in-1 (Welding, Cutting, Cleaning) function is a game changer. One machine handles the entire workflow on-site, significantly reducing equipment footprint and capital expenditure.

New Zealand fabricators often face a dilemma: high local equipment costs or unproven low-quality imports. ZICO bridges this gap by offering Direct Factory Access with Enterprise-Grade Quality. Sourcing directly from Shenzhen, the global epicenter of laser R&D, allows NZ companies to access the latest iterations of 3-in-1 technology—often 12-18 months before they hit traditional retail shelves in the South Pacific.
Supply Chain Synergy: Because we are located in the heart of the world's laser component supply chain, we offer rapid spare parts availability. Whether you need a replacement protective lens, a new nozzle, or a laser source upgrade, our logistics network ensures minimal downtime for your Christchurch or Wellington facility.
Cost-Efficiency: By removing middle-man distributors, we pass on 30-50% savings to our customers. This "Information Gain" in procurement allows Kiwi firms to invest those savings back into labor and expansion, increasing their overall market competitiveness.
Customization: Unlike off-the-shelf retailers, we can customize the software interface, power requirements (230V/400V 50Hz), and even the protective housing of the welder to match NZ's specific safety standards and workshop environments.
Today, ZICO serves customers in more than 100 countries. Our vision is to empower fabricators in New Zealand with tools that were previously only available to high-end aerospace firms. By integrating AI-driven control systems and energy-efficient designs, we contribute to a more sustainable and productive industrial future. Whether you are a small workshop in Otago or a large-scale manufacturer in Auckland, ZICO is your partner in Laser Innovation.
