Welcome to Barracuda
Precision steel building products
Made in New Zealand
Welcome to Barracuda, New Zealand's leading innovator in precision building materials. We are committed to transforming the construction industry with our high-quality, easy-to-install products. Our expertise in creating durable, precision-engineered materials ensures that every project is not just built but crafted for excellence. Barracuda manufactures galvanised steel building products in Takanini, South Auckland, for builders, installers and owner-builders across the country.
Barracuda began as a residential ceiling installer in Auckland. After years of fitting ceilings ourselves, we started making the product, and today it is manufactured by Continuous Group Auckland on our own roll formers in Takanini. Because we have done the installing, we design everything we make around what saves time on site.
What we specialise in
Our specialty is steel ceiling battens and the clip systems that go with them, for direct fix, clipped, acoustic and suspended ceilings. They are made from NZ made galvanised steel, cut to the length of each room and delivered ready to install.
