  “Once an interstate visitor walked into the offices of the Dawn Manufacturing facility and stated that it had not been necessary for him to make any inquiries in order to locate Dawn, he merely followed the red line which reached unbroken from Melbourne to North Queensland and Western Australia.”  

The majority of ‘Dawn’ products are finished in a distinctive red paint (with only a few product exceptions for differentiation purposes), and the remark made was no fanciful exaggeration for in almost every factory and workshop in the Australia one or more units of ‘Dawn’ equipment are in use giving reliable service. 

Support Australian Industry.  Dawn Tools and Vices Pty Ltd is proud to be an Australian manufacturer and supporter of local Australian industries and jobs.  We also would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to our customers for their support and investment into local Australian industry.
