Production / Despatch: Quick die changing and automation, together with production planning, ensures our products are shipped on time.

World competitive manufacturing

Fallshaw's manufacturing plant is located in Australia 14km west of Melbourne's city centre. We're able to produce products at world competitive prices because we use intelligent technology and lean manufacturing methodology to reduce costs. We supplement our own manufacturing capacity with selective sourcing from key suppliers but the vast majority of productions comes from Australia.

Intelligently simple, smart product design

Fallshaw castors combine form and function. You won't have to choose between style and performance - you can have both. We think hard about the design so that you won't have to. Our greatest compliment is when our customers forget about our castors - what do we mean by that?

Furniture castors should be a considered part of furniture design, with colour, finish and style seamlessly blending to the point that the castors are just a part of the whole, rather than an afterthought. Castors used on trolleys should steer true with minimal push effort, great ride comfort and brakes that work effectively every time - when castors are designed well people are not conscious of how a trolley moves - it just happens.

Serious working castors should have long product life with minimal and easy preventative maintenance - castors should not cause interruptions to equipment use due to high wear rates or breakdowns: they should soldier on unnoticed.

When you choose a Fallshaw castor, you can then forget about it because it is designed to perform.

ISO9001 - 2000 Quality Management System

Being world competitive is important to us, so we have put a lot of effort into making sure our products and services meet world standards. An effective quality assurance system allows us to achieve this.

Maintaining an effective quality assurance system requires regular internal audits of all our design and manufacturing processes to ensure we are following our quality plan. Surveillance and conformance audits by external auditors give further independent assurance that this is happening.

And then we drop them: Nothing tests a product better than a loaded rig of falling steel! Prototypes are given more punishment than we hope our customers could ever dish out. International design standards are used. If we feel the standards are not tough enough - we'll add our own more stringent tests.

Fallshaw believes that to stay ahead in today's competitive market you have to be competitively priced, produce quality products and deliver them in a timely manner. This we proudly do.
