Quality Billet Planters Made to last right here in North Queensland.
Main Engineering, located just off the Bruce highway in Proserpine, has been operating in the area since 1998. The company has rapidly expanded over the last five years with a 1500m2 workshop, overhead cranes, new CNC machinery, welding and profile cutting capabilities. Main Engineering owner, Michael Cutuli, said they started manufacturing billet planters in 2012 and now have many machines out in the field spread from Woodburn NSW all the way up to Mossman North QLD and recent exports to India and China.
“We have found a demand for well built, reasonably priced billet planters in north Queensland,”
“We focused on fixing all the little problems that the others seem to ignore and we feel we have come up with a great machine.”
