OUR HISTORY

The history of the Fraser Uniquip Group dates back over 50 years to 1957 with the incorporation of Uniquip Pty Ltd in Australia. Uniquip quickly became an established process equipment designer and supplier delivering a full range of services from preliminary studies to full EPC turnkey projects for a variety of process equipment and Plant for Gas Purification Plants, CO 2 Production Plants, Agrochemical and Pharmaceutical Plants, Tungstic Acid manufacturing Plant and Coal Tar Distillation Units.

In addition to its OEM scope Uniquip has had very successful and lengthy relationships with several Principals over the years. For its Fired Heater product line Uniquip initially designed under licence from American technology providers. In 1986 Uniquip was acquired by Plenty–H&M Pty Ltd resulting in a name change to Plenty Uniquip Pty Ltd.

In 2002 the Uniquip part of Plenty Uniquip was sold to a management buy-out and Uniquip Engineering Pty Ltd was incorporated in Australia focusing at the time primarily on the Fired Heater product range and retaining the Lummus Heat Transfer licence.
