What Fremantle Steel Group does

Fremantle Steel Group is a privately held Australian structural and mechanical steel fabrication group headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, with manufacturing facilities in Jandakot and Welshpool. The group was formed from the combination of two legacy fabrication firms, Fremantle Steel Fabrication (founded 1979) and Park Engineers, together representing over 100 years of combined fabrication experience, and is supplemented by a wholly owned transport division, Interstate Crane and Transport Hire. Its core product is fabricated structural and mechanical steelwork, produced at a stated annual capacity of 40,000 tonnes across 36,000 sqm of undercover workshop space and 60,000 sqm of laydown area.

The group's technical capabilities are anchored in a unique-to-Australia beam manufacturing plant capable of producing structural I-beams and custom sections (T's, U's, asymmetric sections) with web depths up to 4 meters and lengths up to 30 meters, together with a CNC laser pipe and tube processing line handling up to 600mm diameter pipe and 500mm square tube, supported by a fleet of 19 CNC machines and 66 overhead cranes. Project execution is differentiated by a 4D BIM capability combining 3D Navisworks with Primavera P6 for sequence visualization, and an in-house proprietary traceability and barcoding system with 25+ years of development. Output is certified to AS/NZS ISO 9001, AS/NZS 4801 (HSE), AS4100 (welding), and AS3679.2 (welded sections) standards.

Revenue is generated on a project-based, quote-driven basis from enterprise customers in four primary verticals: mining (e.g., Boddington Gold Mine, Fortescue Metals Group), oil and gas (e.g., Darwin LNG, North West Shelf LNG, Pluto LNG), infrastructure (e.g., Perth Arena, State Netball Centre, Karijini National Park Visitors Centre, Iowa Creek bridge), and commercial/industrial construction (e.g., Crown Towers, Coca-Cola Warehouse). Products are sold as fabricated steel in modularised or componentised form with optional mechanical outfit (pipework, materials handling), on-site erection, and surface treatment, delivered using the integrated Interstate Crane and Transport Hire fleet including a 350-tonne mobile crane, 15 prime movers, and 50 trailers. Sales are conducted through a direct enterprise field sales motion to major project developers, with no external investment, parent company, or public listing indicated.
