MaxiTRANS relationship with Linear Metal Polishing goes back to 1994. It was then the MaxiCUBE
General Manager at the time thought it would be a novel idea to present a refrigerated van with
polished aluminium top and bottom rails at the upcoming Brisbane Truck Show.
Given the length of these rails it was not as simple as engaging the service of a general metal polisher, it
had to be someone with capacity to handle long length material, but then also capable of delivering a
uniform polished finish across the entire length of the extrusions.
After much searching Linear Metal Polishing was identified as the potential supplier to fulfil MaxiTRANS
needs, and as Linear were already involved in polishing other smaller components for the transport
industry they were best placed to understand the industry requirements.
Moving forward to today and MaxiTRANS relationship with Linear Metal Polishing has never been
stronger. The evolution of polished extrusions and components on transport equipment has now
become the norm, and Linear Metal Polishing have evolved their equipment, processes and capability to
fulfil the industry needs. Add to this Linear Metal Polishing’s willingness to take on other value add
opportunities for their customers and it present them as the go to supplier of polished products for the
broader transport industry.
