RAPSPAN TOOLS

It was decided that the tool needed to be drop forged to reduce its production costs and increase its strength. At this point Ian Patterson became involved as a working Director & General Manager. Ian's Background is design and he has been running his own business for 35 years catering to the heavy industry mining area. With his input we were able to move the company forward and complete the design documentation to a standard where we could manufacture overseas as the cost to manufacture within Australia was just becoming too high. We do however have some of the specialised parts manufactured in Australia like the springs and some bolts. After much research and legwork we established a close working relationship with a small manufacturer in Asia which continues to this day. We make regular visits to discuss new innovations and improvement that may have appeared in the market place... As with all inventions, the Rapspan range of tools started out as a need to solve a practical problem..
