Woy Woy partnership, Frontier Fabrication & Engineering, has received $22,487 from the Federal Government’s Energy Efficiency Grants for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises Program.
Owners Liam Crothers and Jake Wildschut said that the business had used the funding support to purchase two new energy efficient welders to replace their existing old and energy-intensive welding devices.
Crothers said he and Wildschut started the business three years ago and it had continued to grow each year.
“We have been working on helping improve accessibility at NSW public schools, building metal handrails and other metal structures,” Crothers said.
“The support provided by the Federal Government has helped our business improve its energy efficiency through two new energy-efficient welders.
“These new devices are half the size, are more powerful, and consume less energy.
“They have also made our business more productive.”
Wildschut said the business was very busy and they were looking for an apprentice who was ready to learn and be a part of Frontier Fabrication & Engineering.
Federal Member for Robertson Dr Gordon Reid said local manufacturing represented thousands of jobs on the Central Coast.
“Frontier Fabrication & Engineering is a metal fabrication specialist, crafting precision structures and components from a variety of materials,” he said.
“Recently, the business completed several projects to help improve accessibility at several NSW public schools.
“I look forward to watching their business continue to grow.”
