Humble beginnings

The company was founded in the farming community near Murray Bridge in South Australia and was originally known for sterilizing milk vats.

Steriline developed the first downward hide puller machine for the Murray Bridge meatworks in the 1970's. As a result of this business success, manufacturing commenced on a range of farm and irrigation equipment, and also the specialist abattoir equipment we still produce today.

A new era

In 1992 the company changed hands and moved from Murray Bridge to Mount Barker. The company commenced manufacturing on 2 April 1992 at the current premises at 38 Oborn Road, Mount Barker.

Since then Steriline has progressed the hide puller design, changing from the original twin ram machines to the sophisticated single ram machines operated by state of the art programmable logic controller technology.

A proud company

As a company, we are very proud of the strong business relationships we have developed globally, and we continue to develop products and services to meet client requirements.

We consider ourselves a partner to the industry by learning our customer’s challenges and developing and refining our equipment to suit the needs of the industry.

It is this culture of innovation that makes Steriline Engineering stand out from the rest.
