BUILD Construction and Engineering Awards 2025 Best Precision SheetMetal Manufacturing & Fabrication Specialists 2025 – Australia It is a common misconception that scalable, smart manufacturing requires going offshore. In reality, it is already thriving in regional Australia, where Larsen Engineering is leading the charge. Based in Baranduda, Victoria, the company specialises in supply-chain manufacturing of precision components and complex assemblies of the highest possible quality. Managing Director Benjamin Larson told us more, as the company is named in the Construction and Engineering Awards 2025. Built upon precision, reliability, and innovation, Larsen Engineering is an Australian-owned company spanning three generations of the Larsen family. What once was a small fabrication shop more than two decades ago has evolved into a thriving manufacturing partner in national projects and supply chains in Australia. Today, Larsen Engineering stands as more than a typical fabrication shop, but as a business that is equal parts engineering, technology, and client-centricity, with a focus on long-term partnerships – not one-off jobs. Focused on excellence in high-value sheet metal componentry, structural assemblies, and powder-coating within both its Baranduda and Lavington sites, Larsen Engineering partners with clients demanding reliability, precision, and consistent performance in power, infrastructure, renewables, and agribusiness, with a client base that includes the industry’s largest EOMs, EPCs, and energy developers, all depending on Larsen Engineering to deliver an innovative, highquality solution every time. “The Larsen team opts to take the lead,” Benjamin told us. “We put automation, datadriven systems, and progress over perfection into anything that takes our clients closer to the next level. Whether its proof of concept for a new design or optimising a product for manufacturer, we solve problems through engineering. In a world that is confronted with increasing challenges, and this is a moment for us to lead our community and partners toward a smarter, faster, and more sustainable future.” What makes Larsen Engineering stand out from the crowd is its ability to combine engineering thinking with scalable manufacturing. More than a mere fabricator, Larsen Engineering is a trusted partner that helps clients design better, build smarter, and deliver faster. The company integrates into its clients’ workflow, taking the pressure off their teams by delivering reliable kits, assemblies, and components that work. Rather than chasing every job it encounters, Larsen Engineering focuses solely on being the very best partner for clients who value quality, trust, and long-term results. At Larsen Engineering, each project is approached with the goal of making it manufacturable at scale without compromising quality, function, or lead time. This approach begins with understanding the end use; the team looks beyond the drawings to get a clear picture of the purpose, constraints, and site realities. From there, the team applies designfor-manufacturer principles to streamline the process, reducing complexity, standardising components and ensuring repeatability. “We work closely with clients to adapt and improve designs to they are easer to produce, faster to install, and better value over the life of the project,” added Benjamin. “That mindset – collaborative, solutions-drive, and scalable – is how we deliver reliability at volume. Because for us, success isn’t just hitting a spec; it is building a process that can repeat, grow, and keep delivering, project after project.” Recently, one of Larsen Engineering’s most rewarding ongoing projects has been supplying large volumes of precision-fabricated kits for a national player in the power and renewables sector. These kits, designed for rapid installation, include sheet metal enclosures, structural supports, fabricated and galvanised tanks, and pre-treated powercoated components. The key challenge of this project was managing fluctuating demand without compromising delivery. The company overcame this by vertically integrated supply principles, standardising kit variants, and investing in automation to scale production without losing flexibility. “What we are most proud of is the level of collaboration,” said Benjamin, “working closely with the client’s team to improve design-formanufacture, reduce site labour, and maintain consistently supply. It is a great example of how local manufacturing can deliver smart, dependable solutions for critical infrastructure.” The future is full of excitement for Larsen Engineering, as the company turns its sights inwards with a significant focus on its people – growing the team, developing their skills, and keeping the culture strong. The team continues to strengthen its practices as the company evolves its operations, proving that advanced manufacturing has a bright future in regional Australia. But that is not all for Larsen Engineering, named Australia’s Best Precision Sheet-Metal Manufacturing and Fabrication Specialist 2025. “The rest of 2025 is all about building momentum,” Benjamin shared. “We’re scaling up for several major programmes while continuing to invest in automation, smarter systems, and better ways of working. It’s not just about capacity – it’s about being more agile, efficient, profitable, and ready to support our clients as they grow.” Contact: Benjamin Larsen Company: Larsen Engineering Pty Ltd Web Address: www.larseneng.com.au
