We all take special pride in seeing our products utilised in these large projects which positively improve the welfare of the community. Particular thanks are due to Local Jobs First and the Commissioner.

The Local Jobs First policy has enabled us to provide quality Australian products to large-scale government projects across the state. This investment in local businesses has allowed BRITEX to reinvest in our employees and in state-of-the-art machinery for our factory. We are able to continue to custom fabricate premium quality products locally for our customers. Many businesses such as ours are benefitting from this policy, enabling us the opportunity to help build Victoria.”
