The company’s growth in turnover, staff and stock levels saw the business premises move from the Sydney CBD to Artarmon, Castle Hill and in 1998 to our current location in the Norwest Business Park.
The company now operates successful branch offices in Melbourne, and Auckland, NZ, with agents in South Australia and Western Australia. With the advent of greater technology and more reliable transport partners we now service Queensland and Northern Territory directly from our Baulkham Hills head office.
Our product range in the early years included many hardware items, as well as a range of pressure gauges manufactured under the brand name of EMPEO, Germany.
Pressure gauges quickly became the prime focus of the business as the company continued to develop. Today, Ross Brown Sales Pty Limited is widely acknowledged as Australia’s leading supplier of measurement and calibration equipment.
An initial agreement with Ametek /US Gauge in 1975 has developed into a strong alliance and allowed the company to expand its focus into the Oil and Gas industries with a comprehensive range of high quality, reliable precision pressure measurement and calibration equipment.
Through an Ametek joint venture with a Chinese based company, we now provide general equipment gauges to OEM’s and industry under the well recognised “RB” logo.
The strength of the Ametek alliance has increased throughout the years with Ross Brown Sales Pty Limited representing a number of other divisions of the Ametek group.
During the sixties the company consolidated it’s position in the pressure market and saw son, Graham, join his father Ross in the business in 1967. In 1988, on the retirement of Ross Brown, Graham bought the business from his father.
Recognising the need to expand from a pressure gauge supplier to a company, which was able to solve pressure and other process problems, Ross Brown Sales Pty Limited actively sought complementary product lines.
Today, the company sells products for precision pressure measurement and calibration, temperature measurement and calibration, as well as torque, force, flow, and data loggers. The company has further diversified into supplying electric motors with 120V and 240V products which it supplies to the pool, spa and vacuum cleaner OEM’s.
Ross Brown Sales Pty Limited operates and maintains a NATA Accredited Metrology Laboratory (Pressure), Accreditation No:1808 for the calibration of Pressure and Vacuum devices from –100kPa Vac to 100,000 kPa Pressure.
The company has grown with an annual turnover approaching $10 million and a staff and management team comprising 28 highly competent and committed personnel. Our staff are all committed to continue to supply the high quality levels of service which we know our customers deserve.
All of us at Ross Brown Sales Pty Limited would like to take this opportunity to thank our customers and our suppliers for their support throughout the last 50 years and look forward to continuing to be of service for many more years to come.
