Who we are
A family business that builds serious machines
Melvelle Equipment is a second-generation, Australian-owned family business. Established as Melvelle Engineering in 1982 and carried forward by the next generation since 2007, we design, manufacture and service our equipment from our own facility in Newcastle, NSW.
With more than 250 products in the range and new machines constantly being prototyped, field-trialled and released, our promise hasn't changed in four decades: practical in nature, easily maintained, robust in design — outstanding performance.

Design
Qualified mechanical engineers solving real track problems with the latest 3D CAD — every product starts as a working virtual machine.
