How we work
From drawings to delivered production
Our process is designed to keep quoting, review, production and delivery clear from the start, helping reduce delays, avoid rework and keep your job moving.
How it works
A straightforward path from enquiry to supply
Send drawings, quantities, materials and finishing requirements. We review the job, confirm the best production approach, manufacture to specification, finish as required and deliver on schedule.
Workflow
RFQ to repeat supply
Current step
Send Drawings
Share drawings, quantities, specifications and delivery requirements so the job can be reviewed accurately from the start.

Built for ongoing orders, scheduled production and continuity of supply, helping you avoid delays and keep production moving.
In-house manufacturing control
Fabrication, welding and finishing managed under one roof, reducing handovers, improving quality and keeping production on schedule.
Practical support from drawings to production
Clear communication, manufacturability input and straightforward coordination, helping resolve issues early and keep jobs moving.
Consistent quality across production runs
Controlled processes and repeatable methods ensure parts and assemblies meet requirements every time.
Production in Practice
HelloFresh charging stations
Project snapshot
Battery charging station frames for warehouse electric pallet jacks
EFC was engaged by HelloFresh to design and manufacture 43 battery charging station frames for their warehouse electric pallet jack fleet. With a site relocation underway, all units needed to be delivered and installed by a fixed deadline to avoid operational downtime. The solution also needed to accommodate two different battery systems, each requiring different charger configurations.
This project demonstrates EFC’s sheet metal manufacturing capability for warehouse equipment and repeat production supply in Sydney.
Deliver charging infrastructure without disrupting operations
HelloFresh required battery charging frames for their electric pallet jack fleet during a site relocation. All units needed to be installed by a fixed deadline to avoid downtime, with two battery types requiring different charger configurations.
Design a universal frame to suit multiple charger types
EFC developed a robust frame with a universal back plate to suit both charger types, simplifying installation and reducing variation. A prototype was built and tested before moving into full production.
Production delivered and installed on time, with no disruption
Production was completed in line with the relocation schedule, allowing installation without impacting operations. The final design provided a reliable, repeatable solution supporting a more efficient and sustainable fleet.
