Able Industries Engineering Pty Ltd

Description

Able Industries Engineering is a sovereign Australian manufacturer delivering advanced metal fabrication and project-based engineering solutions for Defence, Government, and Infrastructure sectors.

Celebrating 50 years of operation, Able is a Defence Recognised Supplier, ISO 9001:2015 certified, and a proud member of AIDN and AIG. With a legacy of quality, speed, and precision, we provide end-to-end support — from concept and prototyping through to production and through-life sustainment.

Our facilities in South Kingsville and Spotswood (Melbourne) span over 5,000sqm and house advanced robotic welding, 3D Tube laser cutting, armour-grade fabrication, and dedicated project management teams. From specialist military components to iconic infrastructure builds, we deliver projects with confidence, clarity, and control.

We serve national and prime contractors with vertically integrated manufacturing capability, adaptable to both large-scale defence contracts and highly niche, difficult engineering tasks. If it’s metal — we make it happen.

Robotic Automated Welding

We offer precision robotic welding capabilities for demanding defence, commercial, and industrial requirements.
• High-strength and repeatable weld quality
• Critical component production for Land and Sea platforms
• Fast turnaround for urgent project timelines

Large-Scale 3D Laser Cutting

Our advanced large-scale 3D bevel head tube laser cutting enables fast, accurate, and scalable part production. We operate one of Australia’s largest diameter tube laser cutting machines, handling sections up to 410mm diameter by 10 metre length.

• Cuts complex geometries c/w 3D bevel weld preparation
• Handles diameters up to 410mm with high precision
• Ideal for both prototypes and high-volume production
• Enhances part consistency and reduces downstream processing

Armour, Aluminium & Stainless Fabrication

We specialise in fabricating components across high-specification materials for performance-critical environments.
• Military-grade armour plate handling and welding
• Structural stainless and aluminium assemblies
• Support for naval, land, transport, alternate energy and infrastructure projects

Prototype to Full-Scale Production

From early concept to production-line fulfilment, we support every phase of the manufacturing lifecycle.
• Design for Manufacture (DFM) collaboration
• Full-scale production with strict QA and documentation
• Seamless scale-up with in-house material and supply management

Rapid Prototyping & Commercialisation

We convert design ideas into functional, test-ready prototypes.
• Functional proof-of-concept and one-off builds
• Support for test and evaluation programs
• Transition from prototype to volume manufacturing

Project-Based Engineering Services

Our team provides full project lifecycle management and technical guidance across diverse engineering scopes.
• 3D CAD, FEA, and design validation
• End-to-end documentation and compliance
• Engineering change support and through-life sustainment
