"Waterloo goes worldwide"

ONE of the region’s best manufacturing success stories is continuing to shine during these tough economic times. It involves Waterloo brand toilet and shower partitioning systems.

Proudly manufactured in Bathurst by CTCI Pty Ltd, Waterloo products are distributed Australiawide and exported overseas.

Moving to new premises in June last year, the CTCI team commissioned a new beam saw to complement their extensive range of state-of the-art woodworking machinery.

Sales and marketing manager Gregg Longmuir said the current financial year is shaping up as a rewarding one for the business. “Strengthening the business is our newly appointed general manager, Michael Ireland, who brings to us an extensive construction and management background,” he said.

‘We are working together with Skillset to implement a shopfitting apprenticeship – the first in the company’s history. “We are currently advertising for positions in sales, production and installation to keep pace with the company’s growth. “We are very proud of our achievements to date but refuse to rest on our laurels. We have just released a new washroom equipment brochure, installation guides to four new partitioning systems and a new colour selection brochure, and we have more new product releases planned later in the year.”

The business welcomes wet area joinery inquiries from architects, designers, builders or joiners and other interested parties.
