Services
Metal Fabrication
We specialise in precision metal fabrication using advanced techniques like laser cutting, CNC pressing, and TIG/MIG welding. Our team creates custom components from stainless steel, aluminium, and mild steel for construction, mining, and industrial applications. Every project undergoes strict quality checks to meet Australian standards while maintaining fast turnaround times.
Laser Cutting
Our state-of-the-art fibre laser machine cuts complex shapes in materials up to 12mm mild steel, 8mm stainless steel, and 8mm aluminium. This technology enables clean, accurate cuts for signage, machinery parts, and architectural details while minimising material waste and production time.
Turret Punching
We offer high-precision turret punching for custom perforations, intricate designs, and high-volume production runs. Our advanced machinery handles various metal grades and thicknesses, producing components like electronic panels, louvred screens, and industrial enclosures with consistent accuracy.
Sheet Metal Pressing
Our high-tonnage presses shape flat metal sheets into complex components using custom tooling. This service supports both small batches and large-scale production in materials like galvanised steel and aluminium, with post-pressing services including trimming and forming to meet exact specifications.
Stainless Steel Fabrication
We provide complete stainless steel solutions from custom kitchen benches to industrial components. Our fabrication process includes precision cutting, high-quality welding, and polishing to deliver durable, corrosion-resistant products for hospitality, construction, and manufacturing sectors.
