Figtek is a collective of small niche Australian businesses that work together harmoniously. Through this collaborative approach we provide a diverse range of services and ensure that the needs of our clients are fully met.
From outsourcingto manufacturing.
We started out in 2014 with our fabrication branch. Figtek Fabrication was experiencing rapid growth but our supply chain was becoming increasingly disrupted. For the past 10 years, we relied heavily on outsourcing our cutting and machining (CNC work) to third-party companies. Despite switching service providers multiple times, we encountered a recurring pattern: a minimum waiting period of four weeks and costs that often exceeded the initial quote.
Eventually, we determined that obtaining our own CNC machine was the best solution. After a year of thorough research, we imported our first CNC from China in 2016. In contrast to our expectations, it was powerful but poorly assembled. After a month of rewiring and safety upgrades, the machine was working — but it was oversized for our workshop.
Within a span of a few years up to 2020, our journey took a transformative turn. Through extensive machine fixing and tuning, we reached a point where we could confidently import our own machines, specifically from Taiwan. We built a team of resourceful, passionate engineers in Taiwan who source the most reliable and cost-effective parts from various locations worldwide and build machines according to specifications, customised for the local market.
Knowing that our needs were never fully met, we decided to take the initiative to manufacture custom built machinery. Since January 2022, all Figtek machines are manufactured in our own factory located in Victoria, Australia.
