Whether smaller bespoke orders or large projects, German joiners have been working in the halls of the Germax company under German/Swiss management for decades and deliver German workmanship to clients in Down Under and Asia.


The company sees great importance in an inclusive familiar culture and keeps up with the times. For example there are currently three female carpenters working in the company, which is unfortunately still quite unusual for the industry.

SBS reporter Benjamin Kanthak met on site with Project Manager Adrian Alpert for an interview.

Durch ein Feuer wurden Teile der Arbeitshallen zerstört. Der Zusammenhalt in der Branche war groß und das Unternehmen hat das Unglück genutzt, um die Hallen zukunftsfähiger zu gestalten.
Culture is what keeps people here. We have employees who have worked here for almost the entire 40 years.
