Multiquip Pty Ltd also joined the GBOTA family of sponsors in 2006. The Company commenced trading in 1984. The Directors, Steve and Lucy Mikosic, operated a poultry farm at the time and understood the needs of the poultry industry.

 

Their first venture was to produce Litter Machines for the removal of chicken litter from poultry sheds. Steve's invention changed the poultry industry dramatically.

 

This invention was followed by various types of poultry equipment such as egg incubators for both the commercial and hobby market, plus contracting to manufacture equipment for other companies and some one-off jobs. In 1995 Multiquip purchased a machining company, bringing in house all machining work that was previously sub-contracted out.

 

This has allowed Multiquip to become a more versatile manufacturing company that is able to adapt to the changing needs of its customers. Over the years Multiquip has grown at a steady pace and while still manufacturing products for the poultry industry they also supply many other markets.

 

Multiquip is the largest manufacturer of incubators for the hobby – small farm incubation market in Australia . Incubators are manufactured for all types of bird eggs, reptile eggs and for use in research markets.

 

Multiquip is also associated with the transport industry through a common business association of the directors. Steve Mikosic developed, and Multiquip now manufactures, a granulated discharge system that is used to pump product from trailers and silos. This is used in both agricultural applications such as chicken feed cartage and industrial applications such as plastics cartage.

 

Multiquip are also suppliers of original equipment products that are used in Kenworth Trucks. These, as with all parts in the Multiquip factory, are manufactured to strict quality standards.

 

Multiquip also now manufactures a heavy duty water tank that is perfect for in ground installation. These tanks can hold over 22,000 litres and are in high demand as water continues to become a scarce resource.

 

Some of Multiquip's customers include:

Australia Post, Linco Australia, Mayo Hardware, Kenworth Trucks, Dynaplas, SX Trailers, Sydney Water, Red Lea Chickens, Ingham's Chickens, Australia Zoo (Steve Irwin), Dr Harry Cooper & Taronga Zoo.
