Welcome to Tecniplast Australia, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tecniplast SpA, the international benchmark for lab animal products and related equipment.

Since 1949 our parent company, Tecniplast SpA, has constantly applied innovation to the development of our diverse range of products to improve laboratory animal care and use, whilst ensuring our products meet the ever-changing needs of technological and scientific research.

The key factors of Tecniplast’s worldwide success are an acute awareness of the continuous evolution of a facility’s needs and the capability to design, develop and integrate products in house to meet those needs.  We achieve this through ongoing investment in tooling, technologies, automation, production capability, stock availability, staff recruitment and training, together with the ISO certified quality and environment management systems, underpinning our market leadership position since the early 1950’s.

Commitment to supporting the local animal science community.  Tecniplast Australia has a culture of giving back to the community that we serve, this is demonstrated by the educational events and activities that we deliver such as the Animal Welfare Symposium, educational Lunch & Learns, Zebrafish Workshop as well as the annual Tecniplast Australia Scholarship Program.

Commitment to future generations through Sustainability.  For Tecniplast, sustainability means meeting today’s needs without jeopardizing the ability to meet the needs of future generations.   We aim to minimize our environmental impact by optimizing energy consumption, not only in our own production and transports, minimizing the environmental impact of our waste handling and our emissions but also by developing energy-efficient solutions for our customers. We have, for example, adopted the principles of EcoDesign in our new product and process development and contribute to credits under the LEEDS rating system.

Commitment to providing value for money.  Tecniplast is dedicated to the manufacture and commissioning of quality caging and housing systems and high productivity washing machines and automated solutions, that are designed to care for and enhance the longevity of caging and racking products whilst minimising energy consumption and environmental impact.  Above all, our objective is simple; to house your animals safely, reliably and economically.

Commitment to Innovation and collaboration. 

• DVC ( Digitally Ventilated Caging System ) proprietary to Tecniplast this technology will progressively revolutionise the rodent / research interface and the scientific team at Telethon will have immediate access to this rapidly evolving caging system .
• Greenline  ( a contemporary caging system almost the industry standard throughout Australia ) with the GM500 cage at its core the Greenline system also supports the new DVC technology and its unique housing properties and containment capabilities are second to none .
