Design, create, deliver
Technical Ceramics Australia is a privately owned, wholly Australian-owned business based in Balmain, New South Wales. We make technical and industrial ceramic components for the most demanding applications, manufacturing across Australia, India, China, and the USA, and exporting to Africa, Asia, and the USA.
We start from scratch with every enquiry. Bring us a part that is failing, a drawing, or just a description of the problem, and we work backward to the cheapest ceramic body and tooling that solves it. Our tooling is cheaper than any competitive quote, guaranteed.
We do not waste time. That is the single thing customers tell us sets us apart, and it is why defence, mining, and rail organisations keep coming back.

19 bodies. 1 supplier.
If your spec calls for it, we either stock it or we formulate it. Custom body production is part of what we do.
Not sure which body fits? Send us the application notes (operating temperature, chemical environment, mechanical load, electrical requirements) and we will recommend the cheapest body that meets the spec. Not the most expensive one we can sell you.
