Queensland companies are increasingly dependent on high-quality plastics for durability and safety. Our Mackay tenants Elite Plastic Fabrications build industry-leading solutions.
From their Mackay Harbour factory in Satellite Crescent, Elite specialises in plastic fabrication and engineering, the manufacture and supply of piping systems, and plastic welding and repairs for the mining, automotive, sugar, marine and agricultural industries.
“There is not a major industry in central and north Queensland that we do not service, which makes our harbour-side address an ideal manufacturing location and distribution point,” says Justin Smith, who has been managing director of the family-run business since 2006.
“Combined, the Elite team has more than 50 years’ experience in plastic fabrication, which is a huge advantage for us in meeting our customers’ needs and quality standards."
“We have recently added polyurethane spraying to our range of capabilities while maintaining our reputation for producing top-quality water cartage tanks, machinery guards and specialised fittings,” says Justin.
Elite is also a supplier of leading brands of plastic sheeting, rods, pipes and hoses.
“Pump and motor guards, conveyor and electrical covers, battery box covers, and windscreen protectors are just some of the products made to order at our Mackay factory,” Justin said.
"We are very proud of this product, and rightly so, say our customers."

Quality workmanship and materials are important to Elite and nowhere is that more apparent than in their range of custom-built mobile water tanks used for dust suppression.
Using High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), the tanks are designed with a baffle system that assures a smooth drive even when negotiating corners or braking at higher speeds.
“These tanks can be fully customised and are ideal for unpaved dirt roads, construction sites, heavy haul roads and land development,” Justin said.

Port of Mackay cements reputation as multi-cargo gateway
THE Port of Mackay is cementing its reputation as a multi-cargo gateway to Central Queensland welcoming its fifth roll-on roll-off (RORO) vessel today (8 May 2019). The Höegh America is a smaller car carrier (6,500 capacity) compared to the Höegh Trapper (8,500 capacity) which gained a lot of public interest when it visited Mackay in March. However, the America is still impressive in its own right standing at almost 200 metres long.
