About Carlyon
Fuel Projects. Fuel Systems. Fuel Everything.
Fuel Infrastructure Experts
Carlyon is a privately owned New Zealand company focused on fuel and oil infrastructure. We consult, design, engineer, manufacture, install and service - so you get one accountable partner from concept to completion. We’ve been doing this since 1986.
Who
we are
We operate as five connected business units - Servicing, Projects, Engineering, Manufacturing, Products - which means fewer hand‑offs and faster decisions. The team is based in Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga and Palmerston North, with nationwide coverage.
We’re experienced across NZ and work with partners around Australia and the Pacific on technically demanding jobs. End‑to‑end involvement is where we add the most value, but we can slot in at any stage.
OUR FOUR PILLARS
These pillars guide how we design, build and deliver every Carlyon solution. They keep us focused on doing things properly, building in-house, and delivering systems you can rely on when it matters most.
End-to-End
One team from concept to completion.
Carlyon isn’t just a supplier - we’re your project partner. We specify, design, engineer, manufacture, install and service the most complex fuel systems entirely in-house. That means fewer moving parts, faster decisions and a cleaner result. End-to-end involvement is where we add the most value.
First, we listen.
Then we get to work.
Our team has a refreshing engagement style. We’re good communicators, open to other points of view, and super-collaborative project partners.
Experienced & Reliable
Four decades of showing the industry how it’s done.
Since 1986, Carlyon has been trusted on some of New Zealand’s most critical fuel infrastructure projects - from Air New Zealand and Auckland Hospital to Waitomo Fuel. Our people are seasoned professionals who deliver what they promise - on time, on budget, without the drama.
Safety
Safety underpins everything.
Fuel and chemical infrastructure demands absolute precision. Carlyon is ISN-certified, BP-approved and ROHS-compliant, meeting or exceeding international standards. We engineer safety into every design, every weld, every site process—because in this business, “good enough” isn’t good enough.

Trusted on complex, mission‑critical projects, with long‑term relationships across consulting firms and blue‑chip operators.
Service that stays close
Our technicians are positioned where they’re needed and backed by the same engineering brains that built your system.
Safety designed in
Compliance is table stakes; we design for real‑world resilience and document what regulators need to see.

Where to next
If you need a partner that can take a fuel system from feasibility to sign‑off - and stand behind it for years - let’s talk. One team, no hand‑offs.
