I believe Aluminium Extrusions Metalex Pty Ltd commenced operations in 1962, and closed somewhere around 2001.
By the time I finally decided to go back to take some photos and talk to employees, it was all too late - I was disheartened to find that this once major operation had simply vanished. And I thought it would be there forever!
I believe that the company was acquired by the Crane Group/Crane Aluminium Extrusions somewhere between 1999 – 2001 with a subsequent decision made to close the factory in 2001.
The factory complex was demolished between 2001 and 2006 (possibly 2004) – erasing all the history that was attached to it.
