Manufacturer Information
Manufacturer - Master Instruments
Master Instruments Pty Ltd is a 100% Australian owned and operated manufacturing, importing and distribution company with more than 70 dedicated team members from 23 different nationalities.
The company was established in 1942, primarily to manufacture electrical measuring instruments for the three Australian Defence Services.
Commencing in a small way, the company soon established itself as a leader in its field by the desire to excel in the design and manufacture of electrical instrumentation. The company diversified in the early 1980's into battery pack manufacturing & assembly. Today the company manufacturers, imports and distributes Australia's largest range of industrial & consumer primary and secondary batteries & battery packs. Associated equipment such as battery chargers ranging from consumer & industrial types to highly specialised analysers, various other power products plus a vast range of connector assemblies, DC power accessory leads and battery assembly parts.
Our customer base is widespread covering the majority of Australia & New Zealand whilst fast becoming a recognised participant in the international trade of the products we offer. Clients from Oceania to Asia, Europe and the US represent a growing international market for the company. Our solid base sits with the many parts of the OEM industry market and government but in recent years we have become a leading supplier to the wholesale/retail sector through customers from national chain stores and buying groups to the most remote country reseller. The instrumentation division continues to be a quality supplier to the Defence and Intelligence Services, Telstra and other government instrumentalities and private enterprise.
Our head office and factory is located in Marrickville (suburban Sydney) in a multi-storey brick complex and consists of approximately 2000 square metres of fully equipped manufacturing assembly lines, warehouse, tool room, machine shop, laboratory / R&D room, & administration offices. Our Melbourne branch is located in Ringwood (suburban Melbourne) to accommodate production & warehousing requirements. Recently, through acquisition the company doubled the floor space of the Melbourne operations and aquired a second material production & bulk storage warehouse in Sydney. In late 2007 the company opened a new Sales Office in south east Queensland. The company has long standing representative relationships with distributive offices in all other Australian states and regional areas.
Along with our extensive range of soft energy & DC power products we specialise in a huge range of portable test and measuring equipment. Process control instrumentation & electronic equipment assembly are also part of our product range. Master Instruments represents most of the world's leading battery manufacturers and sets the benchmark for product & application knowledge in the south pacific region. Although well established and widely recognised, as we commence our 67th year in business, the same drive for excellence to produce goods of quality at an affordable price is still maintained.
Master Instruments Pty Ltd is proud to stand behind its reputation of quality, reliability of products, performance and service to Australian industry.
