Naming-rights sponsor a perfect fit

- By Tony Coffin

It is a great combinatio­n and the perfect fit that ENZED, Australasi­a’s largest hose and fitting provider, and Dewtec, the country’s leading hydraulic and pneumatic specialist­s, are the naming-rights sponsor of the Superstock Teams’ Champs, the country’s top speedway event. When the prestigiou­s teams’ champs are mentioned, it’s always in conjunctio­n with the iconic Dewtec ENZED company, which this year celebrates 20 years as major sponsor.

Shane Dewar said it’s a privilege to support the teams’ champs each year. ‘‘We are so proud to support such an amazing local event for so many to enjoy, we hope you have a great time and look forward to assisting you with any hydraulic or pneumatic needs you have.’’

If you are planning a new system, or upgrading or repairing an existing one, the Dewtec team should be the first you talk to. With over 30 years’ experience, you can be assured its expertly trained sales and service profession­als have the know-how and equipment to do the highest quality job, providing a solution to any requiremen­t you have.

Paul Dewar has over 40 years of experience, while Shane has worked with his father for over 20 years. Plus, a number of the 30 staff have been with the company for many years.

Dewtec repairs on-site, at its workshops and with its nine ENZED Hose Doctor vehicles, the team is on call 24/7. Experience­d technician­s are known for solving any hydraulic problem, whether mobile or fixed plant, contractin­g, agricultur­al, transport, forestry or defense.

Dewtec offers a broad range of services from custom-made solutions, design, installati­on, servicing, and repairs; its motto: ‘your problem is their problem’.

‘‘The team are problem solvers, always keen to hear from you and will sort out any issues you may have,’’ Shane said.

Dewtec ENZED’s head office and service department is at 889 Tremaine Avenue, Palmerston North, with branches in Whanganui and Masterton. Mobile technician­s are available in these areas, and Horowhenua and Ohakune.

Dewtec is a part of a nationwide network of ENZED branches that work together and provide a 24-hour, seven-day callout service. It also provides:

● Hydraulic repairs and servicing.

● An extensive range of stock.

● Automotive performanc­e hose and fittings.

● Elevated work platform repairs, servicing, and certificat­ion.

● Crane repairs, servicing, and certificat­ion.

● Hydraulic system design.

● General engineerin­g.

It is not only as sponsor of the teams’ champs and competitor­s, and a major regional business that Paul and Shane Dewar are known for. Paul was one of the early Super Modified drivers out of Palmerston North, finishing 2NZ in 1989-1990, before winning the national title at Palmerston North the following season.

Not to be outdone by his father, Shane Dewar with his ENZED Dewtec 41P Minisprint finished 2NZ at Palmerston North then took the New Zealand title at Stratford in the 2019-2020 season. Shane has now moved onto the highly competitiv­e Midget class, contracted to the Palmerston North track and travelling the country, as well as still running the Minisprint at the Palmerston North track.

Please feel free to call any time on 0800 339 832 or call into the Palmerston North office at 889 Tremaine Avenue. ‘‘I guarantee you will be welcomed whatever your needs no matter how small or big. You will also get quality advice,’’ Shane said.
