About BWB

In 1952,Bert William Bilsborough,who would later become one of the industries foremost pioneers,left his current employer to become involved in the design and manufacturing of canvas and pvc products.Six years later in 1958,BW Bilsborough & Sons PTY LTD was incorporated. As the time passed,Bert became heavily involved in making circus tents for such companies as Worth,Ashton,Perry's and many others.This became the forerunner to his passion for large structures,which initially, were made from Australian canvas.With the introduction of synthetic fabric,Bert Bilsborough recognised an untapped potential,even though the early fabrics were of very poor quality.His perserverence with ongoing research,which almost cost him his business,became the cornerstone of his reputation.Universities,architects and engineers all sought his council and with it grew a highly specialised but significant industry sector. Of many of the stuctures BW Bilsborough & Sons built,the best known would be the very large portable stage for the N.S.W. Government and which is erected each year in the Domain in Sydney.His vast knowledge was partly encapsuled in those volumes known as 'the art of fabricating'. In 1978,during this period of growth,son Ian would join him and subsequently take over the business when Bert decided to call it a day.The business continued to thrive with the demand for inflatable products ever increasing. In 1998,Ians son Craig would join the business and are to this day providing both to the commercial and domestic market throughout Australia with a huge range of fabrications and repair services. With an aim to please better than the rest,our continual repeat customers say we do just that.
