55 Years Of Made-In-Melbourne Expertise

We’ve been putting steel to good use for more than 55 years now.

We’ve been making things that last — right here in Melbourne — since 1969.

What began as R Culpan & Sons, a small metalworking business in Airport West, has evolved into the Culpan Group: a family of brands dedicated to practical, durable manufacturing. From steel fabrication to precision joinery, we’ve grown alongside the changing needs of our clients.

In 2012, the acquisition of AMD Commercial Furniture brought commercial joinery into the group — allowing us to manufacture high-quality laminate and melamine furniture at scale. Today, our Campbellfield facility houses both timber and steel production under one roof, enabling us to build smarter, more complete solutions.

We’ve continued to expand with purpose. In 2025, Lockin joined the group — bringing Australia’s leading custom locker range into our offering.

Across all brands, we design and manufacture products for schools, businesses, emergency services, recreation facilities, and government agencies across Australia and New Zealand.

As a proudly family-owned company, we value loyalty and longevity — in the products we make, the relationships we build, and the people we employ. We stand behind everything that carries our name, and we always will.

School Lockers Buyers Guide

We’ve learned a lot from building school lockers tough enough to handle daily school life — from teenagers to younger kids. This practical guide will help you confidently choose the right lockers for your school. It breaks down the key decisions — materials, sizes, locks, layouts, and finishes — so you can plan with clarity. And when you’re ready, we’re here to share our experience, answer all your qustions and support you with design, specification, and installation that fits what your school needs.

Yarra Valley Water Locker Case Study

Lockers Australasia came to the AMD Commercial Furniture team with a locker design for Yarra Valley Water’s offices. Mark Reinstein, Director at Lockers Australasia explains that the project was initiated in response to Yarra Valley Water’s changing office arrangements.

William Buck Case Study

William Buck engaged Lockers Australasia to build staff lockers in the office. The initial order was for 120 timber laminate lockers, with more to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

When we’re not busy making steel furniture, we love chatting with our customers to create amazing solutions. Here are some of the queries we’re often asked about our products.

Do you import your products or make them?

We believe in Australian made. All our products are made in Melbourne at our purpose-built facility in Campbellfield.

Warranty?

The shortcut answer is if we make it, we guarantee it for 10 years. This guarantee covers faults in materials and workmanship but does not include damage from normal wear and tear or improper use. However, some components—such as locks or other parts supplied by third-party manufacturers—have a separate warranty, typically one year. Consumable parts like batteries are also excluded from the 10-year coverage. Make sure to read the T&C’s for the full details.

Can I choose any coloured board?

We offer a wide range of high quality colours and finishes from Laminex and Polytec. Choose from our popular Standard or Prestige Ranges, or customise with a colour match to fit your brand or design. Simply let us know your requirements, and we’ll provide a quote.

What is the production lead time?

We understand the importance of quick delivery, so we manage production and supply chains to minimise lead times. Lead times can range from a few weeks to longer, depending on materials and demand. For example, products with standard boards are typically completed faster than those using specialised, made-to-order boards. The production lead time will be included in your written quote and confirmed with your order.

How do I get a quote?

To request a quote, fill out the form by clicking the ‘Get A Quote’ button on any of the product pages on this website or use the ‘Contact Us’ form published in the footer. You can also call us directly. We typically respond within 2-3 business days, though quotes for large projects may take longer because of their complexity. If you have a commercial account, you can request a price list for quick costings on standard items via the Contact Us form or by calling us.

Do you offer a measuring service?

As a B2B manufacturer, AMD respects the direct relationship you have with your customers. Once you’ve identified your customer’s needs and required sizes, we can review the specifications, offer any expert insights, and manufacture to your exact requirements.

Do you deliver?

Yes, we deliver to most metropolitan Melbourne locations, and delivery costs will be included in your quote. For other destinations, we can arrange freight. Alternatively, you can book a pickup from our loading dock at our production site in Campbellfield.

Can you deliver directly to my customer?

Yes, we can arrange delivery directly to your client or a third party. We’ll ensure no invoice is included with the goods, allowing you to invoice your customer directly.
