Designer Panel Systems


An associate company of Design Sheetmetal, born from the need to supply external cladding to Melbourne’s virgin market, Designer Panel Systems has flourished, becoming one of the foremost fabricators within the state of Victoria. Designer Panel Systems now services the whole of the South Eastern Seaboard.

Progression of Designer Panel Systems.


After the hugely successful renovation of The Esplanade Resort and Spa, and the subsequent influx of enquiries, Design Sheetmetal could no longer keep up with supplying lightweight external cladding to the design market.

Investing in two new, state-of-art, German Schlebach roll formers, Design Sheetmetal now had the means to roll form a variety of profiles like interlocking panels, ribbon strips and trays, as well as being able to fold flat lock and cassette cladding.

And so, in 2008, Designer Panel Systems was born.

With an existing customer base, and offering a service not previously available in Melbourne, Designer Panel Systems quickly found their place in the market.


Onward and Upward


As the popularity of light-weight metal cladding grew, Design Panel Systems very quickly needed to find premises of their own. After moving into a small site in the industrial hub of Bayswater and forming a solid alliance with our suppliers, Bluescope & VM Zinc, Designer Panel Systems flourished.

The amount of light weight cladding being manufactured and supplied throughout Melbourne mushroomed.

As the brand strengthened, Designer Panel Systems started to gain traction nationwide.
