WHO PARTNERED WITH US

SMS  Thought-Leader in Steel Processing Automation

THOUGHT-LEADER IN STEEL PROCESSING AUTOMATION

From a young age, Todd's passion for manufacturing was ignited while working in his family's fourth-generation industrial brush manufacturing business. Throughout his formative years, he dedicated school holidays and long hours to learning the ins and outs of the trade alongside his hardworking father, except for the cherished four-week breaks during Easter and Christmas.

With a desire to combine his hands-on skills and intellect, Todd pursued training in press tooling, fitting, and turning. This path led him into the world of precision engineering, supplying essential components to the automotive industry. After completing his apprenticeship, he embarked on a journeyman's phase, taking him to Western Australia, where he dove into mining and resource recovery projects.

At the age of 23, Todd decided it was time to explore the manufacturing and export of industrial and commercial storage systems. He joined Brownbuilt Metalux in Perth, where he played a crucial role in supporting the internal, external, and export sales teams as an estimator. Later, he transitioned into project sales and importation of stainless steel plate, pipes, and fittings at Stirling Stainless Steel, also in Perth.

Todd's quest for knowledge and experience took him to the United Kingdom, where he learned the art of selling turnkey automation systems in plastic extrusion for Davis Standard. His journey continued with selling miscellaneous metalwork packages and steel open grid flooring for the UK market leader.

Returning to Adelaide at 31, Todd ventured into the world of machine tool sales, focusing on Turkish and Taiwanese machine tools for a local company. Within 18 months, Todd became a shareholder in the Western Australia division of this business and successfully launched its operations in Perth.

In 2005, Todd founded Specialist Machinery Sales, specialising in supplying European machine tools to the Australian and New Zealand markets. Running Specialist Machinery Sales has been a source of immense satisfaction for Todd. He takes pride in selecting the world's best machine tool builders to support SMS's clients in their pursuit of excellence within their respective markets. Todd finds personal fulfillment in visiting clients' workshops, witnessing the smooth operation of the machines he's supplied, and seeing remarkable structures that are transforming the steel fabrication landscape in the Australian and New Zealand markets.
