Austube Mills supplies tube and pipe to the rural market.

From silos to stock handling, from fencing to machinery, steel is essential to the rural market.

From broad-acre cropping to horticultural production, from livestock production to land use management, Australian farmers are amongst the most innovative and productive in the world. We have some 405 million hectares of land used for agriculture, carrying a combined total of over 100 million head of dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep and pigs and producing around 30 million tonnes of wheat per year.
