    35+ Years of Building Gear That Lasts

    Camesco started in 1989 and has been turning out quality metalwork in Coffs Harbour ever since.

    01 · Our Story

    35+ Years of Building Gear That Lasts

    It started as a one-man show: a bandsaw, a folder, a couple of welders. Aluminium fabrication, repair work, whatever came through the door. Radiator repairs one week, ladders and picking platforms for the local banana farms the next.

    Then the work got bigger. Custom toolboxes, racks and bullbars became workshop staples, right as the local 4WD scene started getting serious about proper gear.

    Word got around: if it came out of Camesco, it was built right. That reputation stuck.

    Today it's trays, canopies and 4WD gear. Designed for how utes actually get used now, built to the same standard as 1989.

    The work may change. The standards won't.

    "Bought my first Camesco tray in 2022. Now I've upgraded my ute and I've wouldn't have anything else but a Camesco tray on the new ute. Top quality work, highly recommend"

    02 · Why We Do This

    Built for one ute at a time

    We spent years watching customers turn up with mass-produced setups that leaked, cracked, or just didn't suit how they worked.

    Mass-produced gear is built for everyone. Which usually means it's perfect for no one.

    So every Camesco build starts with a conversation: what you carry, how you load it, where you work. Then we design around your ute, your workflow and your conditions. Coastal, rural, hard Australian use. We design for all of it.

    Because a build like this is an investment. You should end up with a setup where everything sits where your hand expects it, and still does ten years of salt air later. Not gear that falls apart in 18 months.

    03 · What Makes Us Different

    Five things you won't get everywhere

    1. 01

      If we built it, it's covered for life

      Backed by a lifetime warranty on all workmanship completed by us here at Camesco. Externally sourced parts are covered under their own manufacturers warranty, and we'll tell you straight which is which.

    2. 02

      No shortcuts on materials

      Being coastal, we know exactly what sun, salt air and humidity do to cheap gear. That's why everything we build uses marine-grade aluminium and 316 stainless hardware wherever possible. Always.

    3. 03

      We know what lasts and what fails

      35+ years of fabrication will do that. We've seen every shortcut, every dodgy build, and every so-called "heavy-duty" material that doesn't live up to the claim.

    4. 04

      Local. Family-run.

      When you call, you speak to a member of our small team, not a call centre. When we say we'll do something, we do it.

    5. 05

      Designed and built in Coffs Harbour

      Everything comes out of our own workshop here in NSW, using Australian suppliers and local components wherever we can get them.

    The people building your gear

    Ryan Heagney, Lead Designer and Fabricator at Camesco

    Lead Designer & Fabricator

    Ryan

    Ryan's the one who'll talk you through your build, design your setup, and make sure it suits how you actually work, not just what looks good in photos.

    He's obsessive about the details: materials, layout, how you'll use the setup day in, day out. If something doesn't make sense for your workflow, he'll tell you straight.

    He's also built more custom ute setups than most. If you've seen a Camesco build on the road, Ryan's fingerprints are on it.

    Lead Builder & Workshop Manager

    Matt

    Matt's been at Camesco for over seven years, and most of the trays and canopies we build today have his thinking in them.

    Once the design and layout are locked in, Matt leads the team that brings your build to life. He's also your main point of contact from consultation through to handover. Technical questions, on-the-fly changes: he's across it all.

    If something needs to change mid-build, you'll hear it from him before it happens, not after.

    05 · Our Values

    How we work, in four lines

    01

    Quality Over Everything

    We don't cut corners. Proper engineering, marine-grade materials, and a warranty to match. If it's going on your ute, it's built to handle harsh Australian conditions. That's the standard.

    02

    Built Around You (Not a Catalogue)

    We design around how you actually use your ute, not a catalogue and not what's easiest for us to build. We listen, ask questions, and tell you what'll actually work on site. A layout that doesn't suit your workflow costs you time and money, so we'd rather get it right the first time.

    After decades of custom fabrication, there isn't much we haven't built. The first consultation is where the build gets decided, so it's never rushed.

    03

    Honest Advice (Even If It Costs Us a Sale)

    If you don't need something, we'll tell you. If a cheaper option makes more sense for your situation, we'll say so.

    We'd rather lose a sale than sell you something that isn't right. Plenty of fabricators will build whatever you ask for, even when there's a better answer. We're not those blokes.

    04

    Respect for Your Time

    Custom builds take time, more than off-the-shelf, and we'll tell you that upfront. What we won't do is rush installs, or overload the workshop and hope for the best. Every build gets the time it deserves.
