Treadwell is set to highlight its innovative material solutions for the mining sector at the Queensland Mining Expo (QME) this July in Mackay, reinforcing its commitment to supporting safer, more efficient, and more sustainable mining operations across Australia.
With decades of experience delivering high-performance engineered products, Treadwell has established itself as a trusted partner to the mining industry. The company specialises in Fibreglass Reinforced Polymer (FRP) products and solutions, designed to withstand the harshest operating environments while offering significant advantages over traditional materials such as steel.
At QME, Treadwell will showcase its broad range of capabilities, including access systems, handrails, platforms, cable management, and structural profiles that are corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and low-maintenance. These attributes make FRP an ideal solution for mining sites where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or extreme conditions can rapidly degrade conventional materials.
Treadwell’s Managing Director, Lachlan Butcher, says that Treadwell’s focus is on delivering practical, long-term solutions that enhance safety and reduce lifecycle costs for mining operators. “Our composite systems are engineered to perform in demanding environments, helping sites improve reliability while minimising downtime and maintenance.”
With offices and warehouses strategically located across Australia, New Zealand, India, and the United Kingdom, Treadwell provides local support backed by global expertise. This international footprint ensures fast delivery, technical assistance, and project support regardless of scale or location.
The company’s approach extends beyond product supply. Treadwell works closely with clients from design through to delivery, offering engineering guidance and customised solutions tailored to specific site requirements. This collaborative model has seen the company successfully deliver projects across a wide range of mining applications, from new processing plants to infrastructure upgrades.
The Queensland Mining Expo represents an important opportunity for industry professionals to connect, explore innovation, and address the evolving challenges facing the sector. Treadwell’s presence at the event underscores its ongoing investment in the mining industry and its commitment to advancing safer and more durable infrastructure solutions.
Visitors to the Treadwell stand at QME Mackay will have the opportunity to learn more about how composite materials can transform site performance and deliver long-term value across mining operations.
