Industrial Supplies for Adelaide — Defence, Engineering & SA Industry Supply

Adelaide is Australia's defence manufacturing capital. The Osborne Naval Shipyard, the AUKUS submarine programme, BAE Systems, ASC and the broader Tier 2 and Tier 3 defence supply chain all run on industrial supplies. AIMS Industrial has been a proudly Australian industrial supplier into the South Australian industrial base since 1988 — bearings, fasteners, lubricants, cutting tools, safety equipment, hydraulics and pneumatics — dispatched daily from our Milperra (Sydney) warehouse to Adelaide and across SA.
