At Hercus, the strength of our business comes down to one thing: the people behind it.

 

For over 100 years, we’ve grown and shaped what we do, not just through innovation and technical expertise, but by building long-term relationships with clients, suppliers, and our own team.

 

From its beginnings as a machine tool manufacturer in 1920, Hercus Engineering have since evolved into the versatile and highly regarded General Engineering company it is today, providing engineered solutions to clients across the country.

 

While the technology has changed, one thing remains constant: our values. We constantly prove ourselves to be a trusted partner to those we work for. We get the job done right the first time, and our clients count on us to take ownership, and deliver
with precision. This means a better experience through all stages of a project.


Australian-owned and proud of it, we invest in our people. From first year apprentices all the way through to team members who have been with the business for 10+ years, we do more than just hire people with skills – we help strengthen them. This commitment to training and development has formed a strong foundation and allowed us to hold an impressive retention rate through every area of the business.

 

We take partnerships seriously. This means when you work with Hercus, you can expect more trust, more expertise, and a shared commitment to providing the absolute best service possible.

Where did it all begin?

All things have a beginning and for F.W. Hercus Pty. Ltd. it came one Monday morning in May 1920, when Frederick William Hercus rented a small building in St. Peters, put a sign over the door and went into business on his own. It takes a bold move by an individual to commence in business but it takes the drive and energy of many employees to make a company great and be recognised by so many for 100 years.

​

Along the way, many challenges have been met that include a depression, a world war, a change of ownership, a change of government attitudes and for 2020, Coronavirus.

​

Today with the latest technologies at it's disposal Hercus now is a leader in supporting Mining, Steel production and other key support industries with a Design and General Engineering Service and a comprehensive Transmission and Equipment range.

Touch the years to relive a 100+ year history on how Hercus evolved, and where to for Hercus in the future.
