In an increasingly competitive market, a good number of companies are sending their manufacturing processes overseas in a bid to increase their profit margins, but not local manufacturing champions such as Gason.
The fact that Gason has been in business for over 70 years and still going strong is testament to the company’s insistence on keeping production and jobs in Australia.
From a tiny panel beating business in the 1940s, the company has evolved into a multi-faceted business today manufacturing a wide range of products; from wood heaters to agricultural equipment and even caravans.
Its secret to success - constantly adapt to an ever evolving market and pounce on opportunities as they arise.
We had the opportunity to visit Gason’s HQ and factory in Ararat, Victoria to find out what makes the business tick and had a look behind the scenes to see how its products come together.
