Manufacturing


  • Fuel Pump Spinnakers

    It is during the manufacturing stage that all the groundwork in Product Development and tool building pays off. A well-designed part, made out of a well-designed mould, is a pleasure to behold.  Because we focus so much of our efforts into these foundation areas, we are confident of supplying you with a consistent, high quality part batch-by-batch, order-by-order.

    As an ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 approved manufacturer with over 5000m2 of production space, we offer flexible, small batch (typically 1-10,000 parts) production facilities, running mix mode manufacturing with quick turnaround times.

    We can supply as required from stock, to order, or even JIT (just in time) against forecast schedules. We have warehouse facilities to store raw materials, components and finished products according to your needs.

    Manufactured for Gallagher Fuel Systems, the curved moulding seen in the photo is produced in PU using the rotational moulding process.

    PU was chosen over traditional PE to provide the following benefits:

    • Painted Automotive class finish.
    • Fire Retardant Properties to ASNZ
    • Static Dissipative properties suitable for Fuel Station Forecourts
    • High Strength, low weight.
    • In-moulded steel fixing points for mounting to fuel pump cabinet and chassis
  • Iveco

    Made For IVECO Australia, these Steering Covers are an example of our winning formula to making plastic parts

    Right Process + Right Material + Right Tooling = Right Parts!

    These covers are produced to an exacting standard using the traditional rotational moulding process. What makes these parts unique is:

    • Process – Traditional rotational moulding in PE is not commonly used for such precise parts. Quest Industries has developed the know-how to produce extremely accurate and consistent parts using a relatively low-tech process such as PE Rotational moulding.
    • Tool Design – Much of the success falls to well designed and executed tooling.
    • CNC Trimming – These parts are clamped in specially designed and built jigs after moulding, allowing the complex part edge and holes to be CNC machined on our 3 Axis Router.
    • Material – The material used in these parts is at the forefront of current PE technology. Compliant to standard ECE R34/1, this material is sufficiently flame resistant to meet diesel fuel tank standards. It also has an extremely high Heat Distortion Temperature (HDT) required for this application.
  • 3 different formulations of PU

    This photograph demonstrates the versatility of our manufacturing plant. These parts represent 3 different formulations of PU. We are able to produce these parts as well as many others, simultaneously in a variety of different PU materials and formulations.

  • These RRIM parts are produced in an economical batch size of between 40-50 parts.

    Our manufacturing facility offers flexibility in batch sizes to suit your requirements and budget.

    Our flexibility could improve your profit margin!

  • These Rigid Foam components are produced for a manufacturer of laboratory equipment.

    These Rigid Foam components are produced for a manufacturer of laboratory equipment. Because their batch requirements are relatively small, Quest Industries manufactures larger more economical batches which are then stored in our warehouse facility. The parts are drawn off this stock as required by the customer.

    If this would suit your business, please contact us and ask about batch sizes and consignment type stock arrangements.

  • These Soft Foam Tackle Bags are produced in large batch sizes and stored in our warehouse facility.

    These Soft Foam Tackle Bags are produced in large batch sizes and stored in our warehouse facility.

    We can manufacture complex shapes and designs in soft foam which are not possible to achieve with conventional wire cutting methods.

  • We love the variety of parts that we produce!  Some parts have a definite      sculptural quality which makes our work that much more enjoyable. We would enjoy making your parts as well.

  • Installed on flat-bed versions of the Toyota Hilux Ute, these Mirror Spacers are designed and installed to improve the driver’s viewing angle through the wing mirrors.
     
    Produced in Rigid Foam, and running since April 2005, production quantities have reached into the hundreds of thousands.
     
    As one of the few OE (Original Equipment) suppliers to Toyota in NZ, this contract involves:

    • High volume production.  
    • Sub-contract management.
    • Component assembly and packaging.
    • A large freight and logistics network supplying finished, painted product to 7 port fitment facilities across Australia.
    • Finished product is supplied to these facilities on a JIT (just in time) production strategy.
     
    We can also help you to improve your return on investment by reducing in-process inventory and associated carrying costs.
