Company Overview
Hephaestus Global is a 100% Australian owned collective of engineering and manufacturing companies, united by a shared vision and mission to deliver sustainable and advanced sovereign capability. Its core business units are Mitchell & Cheesman Pty Ltd, Toolcraft Australia Pty Ltd, Sharman Sheetmetal and Fabrication and Carr Fasteners.
We are a trusted advanced manufacturing collective specialising in precision tooling, machining and end-to-end engineering solutions, from product development and design through to full-scale manufacture. Serving the defence, medical, automotive, and mining sectors, we deliver technically advanced, high-precision solutions that meet the highest standards of quality, performance, and reliability. When projects demand engineering excellence, precision, and proven manufacturing expertise, we deliver with confidence.
Products and Services
We deliver precision-machined and fabricated components for programs where the tolerance for error is effectively zero — Collins-class submarine systems, multi function consoles, space & rocket components, periscopes, missile components, and hypersonic platforms among them. Our teams manage major defence accounts end-to-end: engineering and program management, CNC machining, sheet metal and press tooling, and finishing, all under one roof. That combination of longevity, hands-on defence experience, and continuity of leadership is what our partners —from BAE Systems down — have come to rely on.
