MITS Alloy

What MITS Alloy does

MITS Alloy Pty Limited (ACN 643 500 350) is an Australian manufacturer of heavy-duty aluminium ute trays, canopies, and accessories, headquartered in Newcastle, New South Wales, with a secondary facility in Brendale, Queensland. Founded in 2012, the company operates a vertically integrated production model spanning raw sheet aluminium intake through fabrication, in-house powder coating, and 12V electrical pre-wiring. Its core products — the EVO2 Tray and EVO2 Canopy lines — are built around a proprietary MITStrut modular mounting system that supports a configurable accessory ecosystem. The company holds Ford QVM and Ford Pro Convertor certifications and achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification in March 2025, positioning it within OEM-aligned supply channels.

The business serves three principal customer segments: trade and commercial fleet operators requiring warranty-preserving fitments, recreational 4WD touring enthusiasts purchasing through the dealer channel, and mining/industrial operators needing ruggedized storage solutions. Distribution runs through a 150+ dealer network across Australia, supplemented by direct sales from the Newcastle and Brendale locations and the Ford Pro Convertor fleet channel. International sales are active into the USA, Canada, and New Zealand.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales of trays, canopies, and accessories — including the MITStrut ecosystem and a recently launched Starlink Mini Mount — alongside professional installation services. Pricing is quote-based rather than published MSRP, consistent with project and configuration sales. The company employs approximately 75 full-time staff and was recognized as the Hunter Region's Manufacturer of the Year in 2022.
