Services
Steel Fabrication
We provide precision steel fabrication for industrial, defence, and infrastructure sectors using advanced laser cutting, press forming, and welding technologies. Our ISO9001-certified processes ensure quality assurance for complex assemblies. Clients benefit from sovereign manufacturing capabilities and supply chain resilience through Australian-made materials.
Laser Cutting
Our 10kW fibre laser systems deliver high-speed, high-accuracy cutting for steel sheets up to 25mm thick. This technology reduces lead times while maintaining tight tolerances for components used in defence and industrial applications. Automated loading systems enhance productivity for commercial-volume orders.
Press Forming
CNC-controlled press brakes handle steel from 1mm to 25mm thickness, supporting complex folding operations for brackets, frames, and structural components. Our equipment ranges from 80-tonne to 400-tonne capacity to accommodate diverse industrial requirements.
Welding
ISO9606-1-certified welding services include MIG, TIG, and flux core techniques for light to heavy steels. Our team produces durable assemblies for defence vehicles, power infrastructure, and industrial machinery, supported by robotic automation for consistent quality.
Industrial Coatings
We offer galvanising, powder coating, and other protective finishes to enhance component durability. Post-production treatments like shot blasting and passivation ensure corrosion resistance for parts used in harsh environments across defence and infrastructure projects.
Questions
Are you accredited for quality and safety standards?
Yes, we hold ISO9001 (since 1997), ISO9606-1 (since 2024), and Avetta certifications for quality, welding, and HSEQ compliance.
Do you work with Australian-made materials?
Yes, we use BlueScope TruSpec steel to ensure supply chain security and reduce risks from global logistics disruptions.
What lead times should I expect?
Typical lead times range from 6–12 weeks depending on project complexity and volume requirements.
Can you handle custom design specifications?
We require CAD drawings and 3D models to manufacture parts to exact specifications, ensuring precision for every batch.
Do you offer onsite fabrication services?
No, all fabrication is conducted at our Dandenong, Victoria facility to maintain quality control.

Report
Glyde responded quickly to my internet request for quote and just as quick to deliver the final goods. It was a small job during the difficult COVID lock down and I was pleasantly surprised but the level of service. Thank you Glyde Metal Industries.
