OUR HERITAGE
The Baker & Provan story began in 1946 when Arthur Baker and Don Provan, two mates, returning from World War 2 purchased an optical profile grinder and set up a partnership in St Marys on a block that forms part of today’s Baker & Provan site.
Arthur Baker
Don Provan
In 1976 Don Provan left the business to pursue a farming career and his interests were acquired by members of the Baker family.
Baker & Provan commenced transforming from their toolmaking roots from about 1975 when the company began concentrating on larger capacity Computer Numerical Control (CNC) and conventional machining, fabrication, project work and machine building.
Business commenced in a small workshop in St Marys, in western Sydney, where it operates from today.
In 1989 the company entered the defence market with the manufacture of slewing arm davits for the Australian Navy FFG's.
Following the slewing arm davits through to the early 2000’s Baker & Provan designed and manufactured cranes, davits and winches for a number of ship classes becoming the principle supplier of this equipment to the Royal Australian Navy with, at the peak, 45 systems in service that were originally manufactured by Baker & Provan and then being maintained by Baker & Provan.
