Attiwill’s Home & Industry is a specialised
hardware and industrial sales outlet. It is a proudly Australian and independently
owned business situated in Mount Gambier, South Australia.
Established in 1978 by Ian Attiwill, the business was originally known
as Ian Attiwill Sales and supplied and serviced the forestry and transport
industries of the south east of South Australia and western districts
of Victoria.
With the rapid mechanisation within the timber industry in the
early 1980’s Ian Attiwill Sales began importing harvesting
machinery to be used in softwood plantations. Ian Attiwill also
designed a felling head and specialised boom that could be mounted
on excavators. This machinery was purpose built for harvesting softwood
and was sold throughout mainland Australia and Tasmania.
Also during the ‘80’s Ian Attiwill Sales diversified
into sales of industrial products including a broad range of fasteners.
They have the most extensive stocks of nuts, bolts and fasteners
in Mount Gambier. They also extended into the building industry,
initially supplying nailing systems to builders. This particular
aspect of the business expanded rapidly to include a complete range
of furniture and hardware fittings and accessories, which are supplied
to cabinetmakers and the home handyman. Industrial paint and spray
stains were added to the product range as well as anti-fouling coatings,
which are used in the fishing and pleasure-craft industries.
Ian Attiwill Sales moved into larger premises in 1985, which included
a showroom. This was required because of a change of focus from being
chiefly wholesale trade orientated to broaden their customer base
to include a growing retail market.
In 2002 the name was changed to Attiwill’s Home & Industry
in order to reflect the changing image of the company. Within two
years the showroom was expanded to cater for the rapid growth of
retail sales as well as featuring constantly changing industry trends
and fashions.
With the boom in the building and home renovation trend in early
2000, a workshop and another showroom were added to incorporate
another facet of the business to be known as Wardrobe World. Wardrobe
World specialises in Clairson ventilated shelving systems for wardrobes
and pantries, and manufacture a comprehensive range of sliding wardrobe
doors in solid timber, painted, gyprock, melamine or to your specific
requirements. They also manufacture and install a full range of
shower screens including frameless, semi-frameless and specialty
screens.
Wardrobe World has become known for its range of home storage solutions
and accessories.
Attiwill’s Home & Industry together with Wardrobe World
are continually expanding their product range in an endeavour to
provide their customers with access to the latest innovations. Their
emphasis is on providing quality products and service at competitive
prices. |
