Australia's leading decorative surfaces manufacturer and supplier
Laminex is a 90-year-old public company manufacturing and distributing laminates and surface materials across Australia. The tech stack (SQL Server, AutoCAD, Siemens automation platforms, Salesforce) reflects a manufacturing-plus-sales operation with legacy operational technology deeply embedded in production lines. Hiring activity clusters around sales and logistics roles, with parallel investment in leadership development and supply-chain automation—suggesting growth constraints tied to scaling people and operational efficiency rather than new product categories.
Laminex manufactures and supplies decorative laminates and surface materials for residential, commercial, and industrial applications across Australia. The company operates from Tullamarine, Victoria, and reaches customers through a distribution network that spans multiple territories. With over 1,000 employees, the business spans manufacturing operations, sales, engineering (primarily production systems), and logistics. Current strategic focus includes automation-driven capital projects, new equipment installations, and supply-chain optimization to sustain business growth and meet service-level commitments.
Laminex operates Siemens Step 7, TIA Portal, and Citect SCADA systems for production control, alongside SQL Server for data management and AutoCAD for design. Kepware is used for industrial connectivity.
Current projects include automation-focused capital investments, new equipment installations, supply-chain excellence initiatives, and support for Western Sydney Airport specifications. Leadership development and succession planning are parallel priorities.
