The Brownbuilt reputation goes back to 1885 when founder, Mr E.T. Brown, opened a factory specialising in boot tanning and printing machinery.
Thirty years later, having been a distributor of imported office furniture, the Brownbuilt Steel Equipment Company was set up to manufacture and sell locally produced high quality steel equipment for offices, stores and factories
The company continued to evolve, soon pioneering the use of die-formed steel equipment, spot welders, pre-painted steel coil and introducing the cold roll-forming process to Australia.
Australia's first manufacturer of all-steel office furniture remains one of Australia's premier brands to this day,
