About OzPress Industries Manufacturing
Since 1970
Founded in 1970 as K&K Fasteners, OzPress Industries is a family-owned manufacturing business with a long-standing reputation for quality products and reliable service. Over more than five decades, we've expanded our capabilities, including our contract manufacturing services, to meet the evolving needs of our customers while maintaining our commitment to excellence.
For 20 years, up until 2017, we manufactured small components for Toyota's Australian-built vehicles. In 2019, we took on a significant contract with Public Transport Victoria to build and assemble a fleet of 50 buses, showcasing our expertise in large-scale fabrication and assembly. By 2022, we had also expanded into powder coating services, which remains a core part of our business today.
Based in Mitchell Park, Ballarat, we're proud to be a family business that brings decades of manufacturing experience to every project, regardless of size.
