Pathfinder Australia Pty Ltd was founded in 1996 in Melbourne, Australia and its products were first launched at GarmenTech ’97, Melbourne Exhibition Centre. It all started with two engineers in their fathers’ factory shed. John Hollo and Ross Kaigg had the vision of helping manufacturers improve their productivity, cut quality, turnaround and deskilling the labour workforce. The company has since evolved and grown and is now operating from a new state-of-the art factory in Melbourne, Australia. Pathfinder employs a team of highly skilled engineers and office staff to assist our customers with their enquiries. Until today Pathfinder continues to instil the tradition of outstanding customer support, product quality and technology.
