Precision That Lasts: Austral Injections Pty Ltd – Custom Plastic Injection Moulding in Cheltenham Since 1954

In the industrial heart of Cheltenham, just off Bay Road in Melbourne’s Bayside, a family-owned manufacturer has been quietly turning raw polymer into precision components for more than seven decades. Austral Injections Pty Ltd, based at 11 Hamlet Street, is one of Victoria’s longest-established custom injection moulders — a company that still designs, tools, moulds, assembles and packs under one roof.

Established in 1954 and formally registered in January 1955, Austral Injections remains family owned and operated. That continuity shows. While many Australian plastics businesses have closed, moved offshore or been absorbed into larger groups, this Cheltenham firm has kept its toolroom, its quality systems and its ability to handle both short runs and ongoing production.

Injection Moulding Perth — B&C Plastics

From concept to finished part

The company operates fifteen injection moulding machines ranging from 27-tonne to 400-tonne clamp force. Most are fitted with core-pulling and other specialised options, supported by a wide range of auxiliary equipment for engineering-grade materials as well as standard polymers. Combined moulding, assembly and storage space exceeds 32,000 square feet.

Services cover the full process:

• Product design and prototyping from a customer’s concept or drawings
• In-house toolmaking — new tools plus lifetime maintenance
• Production moulding, including engineering plastics
• Secondary operations: ultrasonic welding, assembly, packaging and final inspection
• In-house quality control that works directly with each customer’s specifications

Prototypes can be produced before tooling begins so clients can see and test a part before committing to production tooling. That practical, low-risk approach has served manufacturers across building, automotive, agriculture, lighting, food, industrial safety, medical, housewares, air-conditioning, electrical and telecommunications for generations.

Typical output includes technical components such as gears with metal inserts, specialised clips and housings, and a wide range of industrial parts that demand tight tolerances and consistent quality.

Why Cheltenham still matters

Hamlet Street sits in a long-established industrial pocket of Cheltenham, close to the Nepean Highway, Beach Road and major arterial routes. For Melbourne and regional Victorian manufacturers, that location means shorter lead times, easier site visits and the ability to deal with a local team rather than an overseas factory. In an era of supply-chain disruption, a family business that still makes tools and moulds on Australian soil retains a clear advantage.

The firm’s own gallery of completed work — gears, insert-moulded assemblies, branded industrial clips and custom components — demonstrates the range of parts that leave the factory every week. These are not generic stock photos; they are the actual products Austral Injections produces for its customers.
