Our Purpose
People working in the field need infrastructure that is reliable, safe and fast to deploy. We create systems that reduce setup time, improve mobility and stand up to harsh Australian conditions. Every product is engineered to enable human performance, whether the mission is rescue, response, monitoring or connectivity.
What we found over the years was that the industry was lacking someone who a technology business, government department, or community body could turn to and say "this is our problem, help us fix it". We are a different kind of fabricator - we want to explore, design, and build solutions - create things that don't exist, solve challenges that others weren't interested in.
What We Do

Integrated Systems
Integrated Systems
We work with specialist partners to combine our infrastructure with energy and comms into turn-key, ready-to-deploy field assets.
How We Work
Operating from a fabrication facility on the Sunshine Coast, QLD, Australia, we carry out all of our contracts locally from the initial drawing to support, documentation through to fabrication and shipping. Business today is dictated by project economics and we often hear in the news that manufacturing in Australia is simply not economical. While low cost steel products imported from China certainly do have their place, when it comes to project lifecycle and total cost of ownership (TCO) there’s no substitute for high grade locally manufactured hardware, tailored for the specific environmental and mechanical conditions faced by your application.
The proof of this is in the pudding – APAC’s success is an example of how this approach is reversing the trend and bringing jobs back to home soil. APAC Infrastructure is a firm supporter of Australian sovereign capability and frequently works with national and international defence primes in support of projects across the Asian and Indo-Pacific regions.
Our Team
APAC comprises of a tight-knit team of tradespeople - sheet metal workers, boilermakers, and machinists, with a small complement of support staff in accounting and administrative roles.
Michael Window - Sales Manager
As APAC's Sales Manager, Michael is responsible for developing the many custom engineered solutions requested by our clients. Having worked for smaller companies in sheet metal, lifting & rigging, and large telecoms entities including Telstra, Michael's multi-industry background has provided a unique insight into both sides of the supply chain.
A keen 4WD enthusiast, Michael enjoys custom building and outfitting his vehicles, and spends his weekends either camping or fishing, and attempting to grow the world's largest rosemary bush.
Shane Pukallus - Lead Fabricator
Shane is APAC's Lead Fabricator and has a dual-trade in Sheet Metal and Boilermaking. Originally from Mackay, Shane has spent much of his career in mining, previously working for DMS Mining and Hastings Deering (Caterpillar).
As a father of two, Shane spends most of his time wrangling octopuses and preventing nuclear meltdown. In his spare time you'll often find Shane on Surf Lifesaving patrol at one of the Sunshine Coast's many beaches.
Ralph Francis - Lead Machinist
Ralph is the company's source of genius. Across his 25+ year career in Machining Ralph has worked on an incredibly diverse range of projects, from race car gear cutting, to factory automation, to classified military projects.
Originally from South Africa, Ralph and his family chose to start the next chapter of their lives on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in 2016.
Maylee - Workshop Hound
Heading up APAC's Lunch Inspection division, Maylee is charged with ensuring all staff lunches pass a strict quality assurance process.
Maylee was found wandering cane fields in search of something to eat. Maylee was rescued by Shane and now enjoys a happy home life and loves walks along the beach.
