Our Story
53 Years of Manufacturing Excellence
1973 – Starting with innovation
Sapphire Anodisers was established in 1973 by Robert (Bob) Husband. Bob had been in the aluminium industry for a number of years manufacturing high quality shower screens and had increasingly become fed up with the quality of the anodising he had been getting on his product. One day he had finally told his supplier that if the supplier could not do better he would do it himself, needless to say his supplier laughed at him. Bob was not the sort of person to be put off in the pursuit of quality and opened the paper the next day and found an advertisement for an anodising plant for sale.
1986 – Introducing Partition Systems
In 1986 Sapphire Anodisers commenced supplying and stocking its own aluminium partition systems and as a result is today a leading supplier of Aluminium Partition Systems to the Australian and Asian Markets.
1995 – Manufacturing Facility Upgrades
In 1995 Sapphire moved in to its new state of the art manufacturing facility in Somersby being an acre undercover and featuring the latest in environmental controls ensuring our environment is preserved for future generations. The new facility allowed Sapphire to enter into the external facades markets and provide coatings for other markets that we were previously unable to service from our old plant in Brookvale.
2000 – Rebrand for a bright future
Sapphire changed its name in 2000 to Sapphire Aluminium Pty Ltd to reflect the company better as supplier of aluminium and finishing
