| | The History of Fallshaw
The wheel business began in 1920 when Percy Fallshaw (Robert's father) began making wheels for perambulators (baby carriages).
Castor making began after Robert joined Fallshaw in 1960, and soon became the biggest part of the business.
In 1972, the factory moved from its inner city location to a much larger site in Sunshine, 14km west of Melbourne city. This site has allowed for consistent growth, with spare land for further expansion.
The 1990's have seen great progress. Increases in metal pressing and injection moulding capabilities, as well as a new training centre, have led to great improvements in both quality and productivity. In 1993 the company gained accreditation to ISO9002, and to ISO9001 in 1995. In 2001 Fallshaw moved to ISO9001:2000.
So what's special about Fallshaw?
We have been making wheels and castors since 1920 and we've learnt a lot about them in that time. We think a lot about our products so that our customers don't have to.
We're proud to offer ahuge range of well designed, cost effective, quality castors, delivered day after day, in-full-on-time with great service and technical support. That's what's special about Fallshaw. | |
