Brentwood History
The company was formed in 1975 by Mr Jim Badman, Chartered Engineer, and the shareholding is held between his family and the Allied Group of companies (also based in Wollongong). The company was originally set up to manufacture low-bed trailers, which it did until 1989. Mr Graham Badman, Chartered Engineer is the Managing Director of Brentwood, after starting his full time employment with the company in 1977.
At that stage, the company had 40% of the Australian market and was known throughout the whole industry for its expertise in both quality products and specialty design heavy trailers up to 300 ton capacity.
In 1980, a license arrangement was signed with Shred Pax Corporation of Chicago, Illinios, USA to manufacture a range of industrial shredding machines in Australia. Market and product development took approximately five years to reach a sustainable market position. Brentwood is now the largest Australian manufacturer of industrial shredding machines.
Considerable development work was involved during this period in conjunction with the US company. Brentwood has continued this development by expanding the range of shredder models and designing other associated materials handling systems.
After the trailer business was sold in 1989, the shredding machine business was expanded and developed further. More attention was paid to the development of various types of recycling and waste reduction plants incorporating the shredding machines, both as general purpose products for sale on the open market, as well as special projects for specific customers.
The company enjoys a good reputation with many of Australia's largest companies.
To add to the range of products, agency arrangements were made with some European companies for importation of machinery used in the recycling industry.
Present Scope
Brentwood enjoys the reputation of being the major manufacture of industrial shredding machines in Australia and is able to offer machines up to 200 Hp in capacity for all types of applications.
A range of "Multi-Purpose Shredding Plants" have been developed for volume reduction of municipal and industrial waste. A major achievement has been the production of "Tyre Crumbing" machinery for reducing scrap tyres to crumb rubber, fully separated from steel and fibres.
The company also designs and manufactures its own steel plate conveyors or apron feeders which are incorporated in many of the plants and marketed as a separate product range.
Brentwood offers Project Design and Manufacture in the form of Turn-Key Projects. Our experience over many years, together with a vast array of equipment which we can source, places us in a strong position to offer our services to the market.
Turn-Key Plants
The company has considerable experience in designing specialised plants for recycling of waste materials using "state-of-the-art" technology incorporating Computer Aided Design Techniques. Brentwood offers this facility to customers to develop designs for turn-key projects including supply of equipment and installation of plants for specific applications.
Manufacturing FacilityBrentwood's manufacturing plant at Unanderra carries out manufacturing under the guidance of our design and engineering team.
The capacity of this plant is enhanced by networks established over many years with companies which have proven their ability to provide services which meet Brentwood's high quality standards.
The manufacturing facility is extremely efficient and incorporates full CNC numerical control machinery for most of the important machining operations. In this way, the company has been able to maintain Total Quality Control of its production without reliance on outside suppliers for these critical procedures.
