About Sapphire aluminium
Sapphire Aluminium Industries is a 100% Australian family owned company that was established in 1973 by Robert (Bob) Husband. Bob had been in the aluminium industry for a number of years manufacturing shower screens and had increasingly become fed up with the quality of the anodising he had been getting on his product. One day he had finally told his supplier that if the supplier could not do better he would do it himself, needless to say his supplier laughed at him. Bob was not the sort of person to be put off in the pursuit of quality and opened the paper the next day and found an advertisement for an anodising plant for sale. The anodising Plant was used to anodise the Raco range of Aluminium Cookware and was now being decommissioned, Bob turned up eager to have a look and negotiated the sale to buy the plant. He now owned an anodising plant but had no factory in which to install it and no idea how to put it together or operate it.
Undaunted Bob negotiated rent on a factory at 43 Sydenham Road, Brookvale NSW and commenced installation of the plant. Whilst installing the plant word had got around that a new anodiser was about to commence operations and number of people got in contact with Bob, some were customers, some were people that became employees and the anodising plant came into operation. Today such a decision would be considered foolhardy but not in these times and by sheer will and hardwork Bob had an anodising plant that was capable of giving him the quality bright finishes that he required for his Shower screen product.
