What you should know about Global Stainless Architectural
Global Stainless officially began in 2004 by Lincoln Raikes after leaving Robert Stone Engineering now FNE Engineering in Hawera. Lincoln had started experimenting with spheres back in 1995, and patented his specialist double curve manufacturing process as of 200. Lincoln had always had a dream of starting the business, and his son Bergen gave him the push he needed. Bergen, then 17, was due to leave school and was set on becoming a welder and fabricator like his dad. The first five years of the business were tough with little money being made as Lincoln and Bergen experimented with techniques and worked to promote the business. Eventually connecting with internet pioneer Mick Elmes of Engineeronline, boosted the marketing and from there the 'artistic creations' side of the business took off. Getting the Global Stainless name on the Engineeronline website enabled London based artist Anish Kapoor to find them.
In 2009 the innovative artist was looking for test spheres for work commissioned by the Royal Academy in London. He came across Global Stainless' name and product online, and requested a sample. Shortly after, the order for 74 spheres came through and within several months, Global Stainless had doubled its staff to 11 and began much larger scale manufacturing. The stainless steel spheres are made from marine grade stainless, and were manufactured to withstand wind and movement from potential earthquakes.
While being exhibited in London, the work was bought by South Korean clients, however the Guggenheim Museum in Spain had booked it for an exhibition after the show in London, so the South Koreans waited a year for their own replica to be fabricated. A fourth model was then commissioned through Anish Kapoor for a private art collector in southern France. Global Stainless Industrial produces domes for tank ends such as those used in the dairy, transport, and food industries. They also fabricate long radius bends for pipework and ducting, used in the production of food and beverages.
The initial industrial developments evolved when hydroforming was an early method of shaping stainless steel into lightweight pieces. Now industries are demanding domes, half spheres and piping with thicker walls. Global Stainless has invested in equipment such as an extra wide hydraulic press and a heavy knuckling machine. The smooth surface we offer is perfect for avoiding burn on of products often produced in the health, cosmetic and dairy food industry
