Kiel Industries Pty Ltd operates in the Australian plastics manufacturing sector through its trading entity Plastic Fabrications Pty Ltd, a privately held custom rotational moulder and fabricator established in 1990 in Morwell, Victoria. The company produces custom hollow plastic components via rotational moulding and supplements this core capability with plastic and metal fabrication, vacuum forming, a reel-fed thermoforming production line, in-house industrial design (CAD, 3D drawings, 3D printed prototypes), and end-of-life polyethylene regrind/recycling services under an ISO 9001 Quality Management System accredited by DQS and JAS-ANZ. Its branded product portfolio comprises four lines: Kiel Material Handling (plastic pallets, bins, spill bunds for industrial hygiene-critical applications), New Era Tanks (23–150L fuel and water tanks with 110 combinations including five live-bait tank models, originally for marine and now also agriculture and caravans), Rotaloo (waterless dry composting toilets for off-grid homes, parks, and environmentally sensitive sites), and a growing Bespoke Products range covering items such as ice baths, electric motor covers, pump pontoons, and cable holders. Revenue is generated via a direct, quote-based sales model targeting enterprise customers across the industrial/manufacturing, marine, agriculture, recreational vehicle, and parks/environment verticals, with pricing individualised per project and not publicly disclosed; the firm employs 6 people and reports no funding events, M&A, or parent-company ownership.
