Our History

Our History

Sun Industries was founded in Perth, Western Australia as a dedicated litho printer with a tradition of quality and excellence. This still forms part of the companies activities, however it has looked outwards for new technologies and through innovation has redefined its business to encompass high accuracy screen printing, nameplates, decals, flexible pcb’s and membrane switches, resin domed badging, digital printing, die cutting and embossing of a range of materials including sheet metals and polymer plastics. See how far we’ve come since we first opened the doors for business in 1950.
