As we move into the 21st century, Stokes Australasia continues a tradition of uncompromising quality set by its founder in 1856.

Thomas Stokes built the business around his skills as a Diesinker and Electroplater.

Over the years his company played an important role in Australia's cultural and industrial development, manufacturing products as diverse as the gas lamps that illuminated Victoria's Parliament House and the original "Rising Sun" badges worn by the Australian Army.

Stokes quickly gained a reputation for their outstanding craftsmanship and quality products; a reputation that still exists today.

With the onset of the 1950's, the company diversified into manufacturing components for the booming automotive and domestic appliance industries. Its tradition of engineering excellence and innovative design saw it become one of Australia's leading suppliers.
