366 Days of 2012, Day 203 - Factory TruCoat

As an engineer with a career in manufacturing I'm not ashamed to admit, I love factories.

Some time back we watched the beginning of new creation at the end of Morphett Road near the back of the Adelaide airport. Over several months we observed a building landscape transform into a state of the art industrial premises.

For some months more we guessed what this new facility would be used for. It was clearly a manufacturing premises but while the internal fit-out progressed we just had to guess.

Finally when the signage was put in place we learned that this new building is the new home of Manuele Engineers, a South Australian family business.

The facility is dedicated to complex and high precision steel engineering and fabrication work of which takes up four bays of the facility with one additional bay dedicated to industrial coatings.

I was hoping for this high tech looking building to be some high tech electronics or aerospace type manufacturing facility. Alas its just a paint-shop. A state of the art, high tech paint-shop! Regardless, it is great to see confidence in the future of South Australian manufacturing!

Hello Robert,
Thank you for your interest in our facility.
We're glad to see it has generated a lot of interest in the local area and many photographers have been drawn to our building.
As a matter of interest and to clarify what our business is; please be advised that the bulk of our facility is dedicated to complex and high precision steel engineering and fabrication work -of which takes up 4 entire bays of the facility (known as Manuele Engineers).
The paint division (Trucoat) occupies 1 bay within the facility with another dedicated paint shop at the rear of our premises.
Our business is primarily heavy engineering, structural steel and plate fabrication.
Currently we are working on the Adelaide Oval Southern Grandstand Redevelopment project.
All the best.
Tom DeSantis
Business Development Manager
Manuele Engineers & Trucoat Industrial Coating
