The Company

Warialda Engineering & Welding Pty Ltd commenced trading in 1996 and had its humble beginnings in the garage of its owner Mick Davis. After hearing many stories about farm accidents, Mick set his sights on inventing a cost effective agricultural implement that would not only deliver safer working practices but also save the user considerable time and energy. The end result was the DAVIS STARLIFTER a dual purpose tool that has literally revolutionized the way people work with logs and steel pickets.

With no financial backing, Mick began producing ten to twenty units a month from his garage and was responsible for every aspect of the business development (manufacturing, marketing and distribution). Slowly, through advertising and attending Agricultural field days, the Company grew. This impressive growth was due to the business having been built on the old fashion values of honesty, integrity and professionalism.

Today, Warialda Engineering & Welding, (located in the township of Warialda in North West New South Wales), employs a cohesive team of 11 staff and 4 sale representatives. This team shares the owner’s passion, enthusiasm and drive. They take pride in their workmanship and aim to ensure that every product leaving the premises meets the owner’s high standards. The company has become renowned for their innovative farm products, workmanship and customer service levels. Whether you are a local farmer or a large company you will always get the same friendly service from staff that put customer satisfaction first.

From humble begins the company has grown into a leading regional business delivering a range of products and services that include designing, repairing, aluminum, stainless steel, sheet metal fabrication and steel products for the agricultural and related industries. They also produce quality, custom made trailers that are quickly gaining a reputation for being innovative, practical and reliable.
