COMPANY OVERVIEW

Mackay is a leading manufacturer of engineered rubber components encompassing design, development, manufacture, and through-life support. The organisation is 100% Australian-owned, with 90 years of rubber experience, servicing the Automotive, Industrial, Rail, Defence and Space sectors locally and internationally.

Mackay’s strengths include material development, product design, in-house development and testing. Our recent acquisition by Derwent Industries has expanded our capabilities to include steel castings, machining, fabrication and automation – a unique value proposition few can match. Combining the group’s cornerstone capabilities allows for a true end-to-end solution to expand growth outside of the historical core business, such as systems engineering and integration, and further expansion into the global markets.
