We retain a fully fledged machine shop that allows us to produce our high quality tapware and accessories. We are also component manufacturers for various other industries outside of tapware including electrical and automotive restoration.
Our machining capabilities include robot fed & bar fed CNC lathes, CNC machining centers, a clipping press, a forging press & gravity casting, an EDM and a full tool room. Our fabrication capabilities include welding, soldering, and pipe & tube bending.
We are capable of making one off bespoke items (custom grates, cabinet handles, fountains) or replicating broken components.
We have a fully fledged metal polishing shop including one of the most sophisticated robot polishing cell setups in the Southern Hemisphere and a highly skilled manual polishing staff.
Our family also has two other manufacturing facilities in Lonsdale, South Australia. A Class Plating, which is our electroplating & metal finishing business, and Dinki Di Engineering which is an extremely capable CNC machining workshop, giving us a combined factory space greater than 6500m2. It is reasonable to say the breadth of our production capabilities are likely second to none in the Australian market.
A Proud History
Consolidated Brass was formed in 1979 by a small group of people already extensively involved with tapware manufacture. (Prior to consolidation our founders actually started manufacturing tapware in 1976).
Our initial objective was to provide a strong commitment to the State market. However, this has grown to encompass the national market with outlets in every state of Australia.
In the early 1980’s there was an awakening of interest in Victorian, Edwardian and Federation homes, and a movement towards restoring them in a style sympathetic to their origins. Consolidated Brass built up considerable expertise in this field, designing several tapware ranges specifically for this market.
Because renovations, whether Federation or more recent, often throw up unforeseen challenges, the company built up a vast amount of experience in made-to-measure tapware.
Design and innovation driven by commitment to respond to customer needs and desires also led to development of specialized laboratory fittings. These developments go hand-in-hand with our complementary ranges of commercial tapware.
Equally as important as our commercial tapware, our domestic ranges can fulfil every requirement from traditional to contemporary.
Our catalogues, and our website, have been developed to show as much as possible of our extensive range of tapware and associated fittings and accessories, all manufactured and assembled in Australia from locally available raw materials and components.
Our commitment goes much further than service; the quality of our product is also of prime importance to us. The Company’s Watermark Licences (WMKA02746, WMK26766 & WMK26819) are supported by a comprehensive quality assurance system based on AS 3718, AS/NZS 3662 & AS 1589, which is continuously improved and extended.
Our WELS Licence (0091) demonstrates compliance with legislative requirements for water efficiency in tapware, and we also produce tapware for reclaimed water and for rainwater – all important initiatives in this millennium.
Consolidated Brass is therefore able to provide conventional and hi-tech tapware manufacturing, or combination of both, for any requirement, in the most efficient way possible.
And we are not resting on our past achievements – we continually research and develop our product range, while looking to expand our markets.
