About Us

Vector Contour was formed in 2002 to investigate better ways of applying edgebanding to curved surfaces in manufacturing environments.

Duncan Such, our founder, had deep woodworking experience having run large woodworking machinery and component distribution businesses for decades prior.

The issues we set-out to solve were that semi-automatic edgebanding machines do not produce an acceptable manufactured component product consistently; and the large CNC hybrid manufacturing systems were not viable in a wide range of woodworking environments, due to significant expense and complexity of ongoing operation.

The first years were about protype development and testing. The core principals of the patented technology revolved around utilising AI algorithms to automatically analyse the shape of panels to determine an optimal edgebanding application process. Then the focus was integrating all elements of the manufacturing process to produce consistently high quality products.

Since 2008, the Revolution Series of machines have been manufactured in New Zealand and marketed globally. Vector Contour now has offices and representation in New Zealand, Australia, USA, UK, Ireland, Germany, Czech Republic, Greece, Norway, Turkey, Japan, Korea and Brazil.

We provide people on the ground as required globally. We have also pioneered video conferencing processes over the last two years where training sessions, installation and commissioning events and sales presentations are completed with high levels of customer satisfaction, delivering the right outcomes in a very effective and timely manner.

Our reputation, built over 20 years, reflects an uncompromising focus on high quality workmanship. We approach our work with enthusiasm, dedication and integrity. We are always looking for new ways to innovate and improve; and we pass those benefits onto our customers.

We have long standing and enduring client partnerships that are built on mutual respect, open communication and service excellence.
