Depending on your application, an existing product solution may be available as a “standard item” in our range, alternatively, a dedicated design manufactured to individual customer requirements is also possible taking into account, the weight, strength, durability, thermal properties and the economy of construction.

We aim to offer you the best solution possible for your panel needs along with the best quality and competitive price.

What We Do

StyroMAX offers a wide range of services to complement any application that utilizes our fibreglass insulated composite panels.

If it’s just panels you need we offer a wide variety of thicknesses, heights, lengths and strengths for any application from mobile homes, caravans, toy haulers, race-car trailers, off-road campers, truck bodies and just about any other application requiring an insulated composite panel.

You have three options when choosing StyroMAX panels….

 

  • Fully trimmed flat pack:

Panels are cut to size in length, width and or height including all window, door and hatch cut outs. As your panels will be CNC cut we have to prepare CAD drawing files to upload to our state of the art CNC profile centre. From you, we require 3D step files or fully detailed hand drawn sketches for us to convert (for a fee) to the required file type.

 

  • Untrimmed flat pack:

Supplied slightly over length in any of our standard widths (2.0mtr, 2.5mtr, 3.0mtr & 3.2mtr). No CNC cutting is available with this option. In choosing your width please allow a reduction in overall width of up to 25mm due to the manufacturing process.

 

  • Fully trimmed with accessories:

We can also supply a great range of Aussie Traveller or Coast to Coast accessories such as windows, doors, hatches and vents and much much more.

History

“Surely, there has to be a better insulated panel someplace”. That was the plea from our Truck Body building division way back in 1998. Being frustrated with the lack of a good quality transport panel supplier in Australia, there was only one thing to do and that was to take control of the manufacturing of insulated panels ourselves, and so we did.

A new company was founded in 1998 which we named “StyroMAX”. The first task for the new company was to seek out the latest in panel technology and it was not to be found in Australia.

After several visits to Europe, it was there that we found our panel manufacturing process… Styrofoam, from Dow Corporation America, European continuous length high gloss lightweight fibreglass sheet combined with a new European bonding technology was the perfect solution.

With a commitment for a multimillion dollar investment the first transport insulated panel for the truck industry was manufactured the following year in 1999. By the close of 2001, we had diversified into other areas such as mobile homes, caravans and RV applications.

The very same technology discovered in 1998 is still used by StyroMAX today with a successful record of over 1000 composite panels produced each year.
