Our History
1983-2000
In 1983 CGC Engineering was established in a small workshop at the rear of a house in the Southern Suburbs. Our main production was the reconditioning & modification of automotive cylinder heads. We supported standard repair workshops, performance upgrades and the racing industry. It did not take long for the business to grow. By 1984 we were at a point where we had far outgrown our small facility and a larger commercial property was needed. We decided upon a shift to a 300 square metre factory unit in Osborne Park along with the addition of new staff members. This space provided us the extra area that we needed to continue to support our customers’ needs.
2000-2006
By 1995 further sustained growth had resulted in even more space being required. We saw opportunity when the neighbouring property came up for sale; this would double our workshop size. In turn we made the decision to purchase the property. It was not long before we purchased the building and the wall came down between the two properties. It was at this stage that we had moved our focus to target the Heavy Duty Diesel cylinder head market. In the early part of 2003 we saw an opportunity to diversify into the repair and refurbishment of OHV (Off Highway Vehicle) component parts. A strategic decision was made to target that area. With this came further growth not only in the volume of jobs, but also the physical size of them. It soon became apparent that a new purpose built facility would yet again be required.
2006-Present Day
In 2006 plans were drawn up and land was purchased for our current building to be constructed. By Christmas of 2008, the 2016sqm Bassendean premises was open for business. New machines were purchased to expand our capacity and diversity of repair. During 2017 it was clear that the component repair portion of the business was growing at a steady rate and required more space, machinery and people. The difficult decision was made to shut down the cylinder head portion of the business and focus solely on component piece part refurbishment. In early 2018 the cylinder head division was disbanded and all of the specialist equipment was sold. This decision has enabled the installation of more equipment to specialise in the component repair business and substantially increase our capacity to support our customers.
