Queensland Metal Spinners

Queensland Metal Spinners was originally established as Brisbane Metal Spinners in July 1990 in the middle of the recession that “we had to have”.

The founder, Brian Peckham was taught to spin in New Zealand by his father in 1986. On Brian’s way to do some backpacking with his wife they stopped over in Australia and seeing the need for some real competition in the metal spinning trade, Brisbane became their home.

The company soon grew to 29 staff working two shifts and it was around this time that Brian’s brother, Martin, joined the company. With a breath of new life and energy the company began to focus on better and more cost efficient ways to run the manufacturing. The company then invested in an automatic metal spinning lathe and have never looked back since.
