History

Baker & Provan was originally established in 1946 to operate as a toolmaking firm, from about 1975 the company began concentrating on larger capacity CNC and conventional machining, fabrication, project work and machine building.

In 1989 the company entered the defence market with the manufacture of slewing arm davits for the Australian Navy. This involvement has continued with the supply of other equipment and the company now having the capacity to both supply original equipment and then provide all aspects of through life support.

During the last decade considerable effort and investment has been made to improve manufacturing capacities, build an effective structure to support complex projects and acquire the skills required to operate a highly efficient service organisation.

A 4800 square metre factory in western Sydney now supports four divisions:
