At SolidFab Maintenance, our strength lies in our people. Led by our Director, Riaan de Beer, and supported by our Sales Specialist, Daniel, we’ve built a team of experienced fabricators who share over 80 years of combined industry knowledge.
Coming from diverse backgrounds, our team brings together a wide range of specialisations—from structural steel fabrication and precision welding to plant maintenance and custom engineering solutions. It’s this blend of skills and real-world experience that allows us to tackle projects of any size and complexity, delivering results that are built to last.
And at the heart of it all? The man who keeps us thinking bigger and bolder…
ith over 20 years of hands-on experience in fabrication, plant maintenance, and industrial engineering, Riaan isn’t just a problem solver—he’s a creative force in the workshop. Known for his out-of-the-box thinking and unconventional ideas that actually work, Riaan brings a fearless approach to even the most complex projects.
From structural steel repairs and conveyor systems to large-scale plant maintenance and one-off custom fabrications, Riaan's solutions are built on a foundation of solid expertise and a relentless drive to get things done right the first time.
When he’s not leading the charge at SolidFab, you’ll find Riaan tramping across New Zealand’s wildest landscapes, always on the lookout for his next big adventure. It’s that same love of exploration and challenge that fuels his work—because whether it’s a mountain trail or a tough engineering problem, Riaan believes there’s always a way through… you just have to find it.
Riaan’s leadership isn’t about titles—it’s about rolling up his sleeves, tackling challenges head-on, and inspiring his team to think bigger, work smarter, and never settle for “good enough.”
Daniel combines a solid technical background with a natural talent for building strong client relationships. With hands-on experience as a skilled fitter and a deep understanding of fabrication and maintenance challenges, he knows exactly how to turn complex needs into smart, workable solutions. Relationship-focused and solutions-driven, Daniel is all about making things easier for our clients—finding the right answers, fast, and making sure every project runs smoothly from start to finish.
When he’s not working alongside our team or helping clients solve their toughest problems, you’ll find Daniel out on the water—fishing, jetskiing, or diving—always chasing the next adventure.
He’s not just our Sales Specialist—he’s the heart of the team, keeping things connected and moving forward. Whether it’s navigating open water or navigating complex client needs, Daniel brings the same fearless attitude and steady hand to every challenge. With him on board, you’re not just getting a sales contact—you’re getting a trusted partner who’s all in, every time.
