This established Brisbane steel fabrication, welding and machining business is offered together with the freehold industrial premises from which it has operated for more than 40 years.
The business is family-operated and manufactures fabricated and machined steel componentry to customer drawings. Its work includes custom fabrication, repeat production runs, brackets, frames, stands, assemblies, repairs and general engineering.
The operation has built its reputation through quality workmanship, reliable delivery and long-term customer relationships rather than advertising.
A major feature is the approximately 40-year relationship with a multinational equipment manufacturer. Orders are received regularly against established drawings, part numbers and pre-quoted prices, with some components having been produced for more than 20 years.
