Who we are?

You may not have heard of AMES Australasia before, but we can almost guarantee you own something we’ve brought to market. Our products are in the hands, sheds, homes and backyards of people all across Australia and New Zealand. We exist to design, create and efficiently supply innovative products that help enhance the homes, landscapes and lifestyles of all our customers.

We put our customers’ needs at the heart of our decisions, and we have been first to market with innumerable innovations over the decades, fuelled by a combination of customer insights, in-house R&D capability, and carefully selected partnerships that drive us to be better.

We can do all of this because we’re really picky about who we choose to join us. We hire people who care about the work, and care for each other.
