About Us

Who are we?

Established in 1993, R&D Technology's focus has been to satisfy an ever growing market demand for specialised engineering and mechanical products. Since then, our focus on excellence in customer service and product support has seen us grow to be one of the Hunter's 100 fastest growing companies.

Our Newcastle headquarters is based in an 1100 square metre facility and includes leading-edge manufacturing workshops, on-site document and plan printing, training facilities and product showrooms. While our Queensland office in Mackay mainly concentrates on sales and marketing around the mining and materials handling industries.

Our focus is maintenance and breakdown protection of all plant and equipment for industrial applications that are "hot, hum or move".
