Galvin Engineering is turning 90! Who would have thought back in 1930, that a small Perth foundry business would not only stand the test of time but would prosper and evolve into an internationally operating Australian company?
specialized commercial tapware
The company has been through some turbulent times over the years, but in true blue Oz fashion, the Galvin family has continuously readjusted and taken any challenges head-on. Like the time in the 1940s, when Roy Galvin jumped into his school bus and drove some 3,500 km across the Nullarbor Plain to Victoria, to stock up on essential parts and materials that were unavailable in the West.
Or in the late 1990s, when Paul and Chris Galvin had to do some hard thinking to shape the company up for long-term success by reorienting the company’s strategy to focus on specialized commercial tapware and expanding in the East.
Values
The “Galvin” family is a tight-knit work-family business built on strong values of Pride, Accountability, and a Will Do Attitude
With Tim Galvin joining the business 5 years ago, Galvin Engineering includes the 4th generation of the Galvin family.
With many employees working for the company for 10, 20, or even 30 years, the “Galvin” family includes more than bloodline relatives though, it is a tight-knit work-family business built on strong values of Pride, Accountability, and a Will Do Attitude.
GMC
Being niche and nimble with strong strategic partnerships and a clear focus on the health and safety of users and the community, the company is leading the way with product solutions that make a difference for mental health facilities, hospitals, correctional centers, aged care facilities, and schools.
With both business units, Galvin Specialised and Galvin Machined Castings (GMC), going strong, it will continue to offer customers reliable Australian-designed and manufactured commercial tapware, water management systems, fixtures, and machined casting solutions.
