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. 

Our mission –  “Providing the lowest cost of ownership in Advanced Cutting Technology through a passion for our products, personalised customer service, first-class technology, outstanding support and the highest level of reliability”.  

Our vision –  “We support the world-manufacturing base by providing our customers with the latest technology, the highest reliability and the lowest cost of ownership in cutting room equipment. We realise this through a personalised approach offering service, support and care tailored to every customer’s needs and requirements.  We value our employees’ knowledge and development; their suggestions and contributions to our company, and we recognise their need for training, support and remuneration. We offer a stimulating and energetic environment that offers opportunities for our employees to enlarge their skills and knowledge”.
