FigTek IndustryCNC Machine Manufacturer

Figtek is a collective of small niche Australian businesses that work together harmoniously. Through this collaborative approach we provide a diverse range of services and ensure that the needs of our clients are fully met.

We started out in 2014 with our fabrication branch. Figtek Fabrication was experiencing rapid growth but our supply chain was becoming increasingly disrupted. For the past 10 years, we relied heavily on outsourcing our cutting and machining (CNC work) to third-party companies. Initially, this arrangement seemed beneficial, but as time went on, we encountered challenges in managing the process effectively. Despite switching service providers multiple times, we discovered a recurring pattern: a minimum waiting period of four weeks and costs that often exceeded or matched the initial quote, leaving us dissatisfied.

Eventually in need of a quicker turnaround period and greater control over our products, we were determined to develop a stronger competitive edge for our products.

To achieve this goal, we determined that obtaining our own CNC machine was the best solution. After a year of thorough research and numerous enquiries, we realized that locally available machines although impressive, were highly sophisticated and heavily priced. This resulted in our decision to import our CNC machine with the desire to reduce fabrication times, increase the adaptability of our products and ensure that they were competitively priced.
