At Apex Steel Group, our commitment to providing top-tier structural solutions is driven by a continuous investment in cutting-edge manufacturing technology. We are excited to announce a significant enhancement to our production capabilities with the commissioning of our second CZ400 Purlin Machine for our Dandenong facility, engineered by our partners at SFS International.
The Partnership: Driving Manufacturing Innovation
Choosing SFS International for our second machine was a natural progression. The success of our first CZ400 proved that SFS provides more than just machinery; they deliver tailored engineering solutions that align with our long-term operational goals. Their responsiveness and willingness to adapt to our feedback gave us the confidence to expand our capabilities even further.

The Technology: Triple Head – Twin Axis Dynamic Presses
This second CZ400 is not just an addition to our line; it represents a major technological leap forward. The new machine features a significant technical upgrade to Triple Head – Twin Axis Dynamic Presses.
This advanced system delivers incredible precision and speed, featuring:
Three pairs of independent punch heads.
Fully programmable adjustments on both the X and Y axis.
The ability to execute up to 6 punches in a single stop.
Seamless creation of lap connection patterns between 150mm and 900mm.
The result is a dramatic reduction in production cycle times while maintaining absolute precision.

What This Means for Our Customers
For our B2B partners, builders, and contractors, this investment translates directly into tangible advantages on the job site. The ability to execute complex purlin overlaps with maximum throughput means faster turnaround times on high-volume orders without any compromise on structural quality.
This advanced capability allows us to elevate our offering, providing a superior product that meets the evolving demands of the market. Ultimately, it delivers unmatched customisation, giving you more flexibility and new, highly efficient ways of building.
More Flexibility. Better Builds.
Continued investment in advanced, fully programmable machinery like the upgraded CZ400 ensures that Apex Steel Group remains at the forefront of the Australian steel industry. We are proud to offer unparalleled quality, precision, and high-speed productivity for your next major commercial, industrial, or rural project.
