Company Profile
An Australian company, H.M. Metalcraft was established in 1993 by Hermann Mahler to specialise in architectural design roofing and facade cladding systems.
Bringing extensive experience from Europe, the company formed in response to a need from architects, who were designing buildings needing durability, practicality and superior quality in workmanship and visual appearance.
Having grown to a medium sized business in 1998, H.M. Metalcraft has now over twenty full-time employees and a multitude of specialised contractors to provide work Australia-wide. Staff with experience in quality metals are sourced from Europe and Australian workers are trained in-house to develop skills to international standards.
To cater for the call for precision pre-fabrication, a workshop was established in the Yarra Valley in 1995. This expanded to a factory in 1998 with electronically controlled cutting, bending and forming equipment to tailor for all design possibilities.
Strong relationships with international material suppliers have been built to provide a unique quality service. Quality materials used include titanium zinc, copper and stainless steel.
