Wallboard Tools is celebrating our 40th year in business during 2016 and what a long way we’ve come. Business founders Grahame and Helen Orchard were operating out of a small showroom in Sydney when our first sale was recorded. Wallboard’s first order was for 430 Hyde Corner Tools on April 1st, 1976, a tool that we still sell today!
Through innovation, tenacity and partnerships with industry recognised brands Wallboard Tools has grown to become the largest supplier of specialty plastering tools, trims and accessories in the southern hemisphere. Our range now includes over 1,000 individual products sourced from both domestic and international manufacturers such as Hyde Tools, Marshalltown, Trim-Tex, Tapepro Drywall Tools, No-Coat and more. Not forgetting our own trade hand tools brand and the Wallpro power tools range.
Today we have distribution centres located across Australia that provide paramount customer service and fast delivery times nationally. Whilst our business has grown we still hold onto our tradition of specialising in tools and equipment just for plasterers and proudly offer the industry expertise you earn after 40 years!
