Built with Australian steel. Backed by local expertise
Dematic proudly supports local industry by using high-quality Bluescope steel in the manufacture of its ColbyRACK storage systems. With raw materials sourced from trusted Australian suppliers, Dematic ensures every product meets the highest standards of strength, durability, and compliance.
Dematic has manufactured in Australia since it was first established as Colby Engineering in 1966. The company’s ongoing commitment to Australian manufacturing not only supports local jobs and skills but also offers Dematic customers faster turnaround times, consistent quality, confidence in supply chain continuity, and a lower carbon footprint.
