Parnell’s Celebrates First Year As Part Of The Stratco Family

Celebrating over 75 years in the area, this third-generation family business has seen significant change in 2022 since joining the Stratco Group 12 months ago.

Parnell’s unique local experience is now backed by one of the largest producers and marketers of quality building products in Australia.

With both companies successfully supplying high quality products for over 70 years, the local community have been assured that Parnell’s and Stratco understand what it takes to ensure quality and standards continue to grow to new levels.

Over the course of the first year, major improvements and technological advancements have been made to the already thriving business.

General Manager Anthony Wensley has worked tirelessly to improve facilities which now include a state-of-the-art blanker/slitter machine for flashings, new customer parking and pick-up bays, traffic management plans, new factory lights and more.

For Parnell’s regular customers, they have been able to experience the journey of continuous improvement in the last six to 12 months, with many commenting positively about the new changes.

Parnell’s has also transitioned to using BlueScope Steel which has allowed them to meet the demands of customers and builders who use nothing but the most reputable steel brand in the business.

The 16-strong team specialises in the manufacture of metal products such as roofing and rainwater goods, shed kits, purlins, and battens.

Over the past year they have also expanded their product range to include Cooldek (Insulated Panel), Cyclonic Good Neighbour Fencing, patio kits and more.

An exclusively manufacturing service, Parnell’s can also recommend local builders who are qualified to install all their products safely and efficiently.

“I think what sets us apart from other suppliers the most is that Parnell’s is like a little family,” said Sales Manager Ben Storer.

“We are passionate about what we do, and we are constantly striving to improve the Parnell’s customer experience, whether it be a one-off or a regular customer, we are always searching for ways to take our quality and service to the next level.

“We are also passionate about supporting the local industry and local businesses – in the last 12 months we have worked to engage in community activities, and we have sponsored a number of local events.”

Renowned for their exceptional standards of roofing, Parnell’s Corrugated and Trimdeck roofing is manufactured in the Proserpine workshop and is rolled to the customer’s specific requirements.

Built to be robust enough to withstand the dramatic North Queensland weather, but also stylish and easy to install, their range of products are both strong and versatile.

Also specialising in kit-sheds, Parnell’s can manufacture almost any type of shed – from man cave to large rural structures – and everything in between.

These come with optional accessories such as roll-a-doors, skylights and ventilators which are all supplied to suit your exact needs.

All their commercial sheds, industrial buildings and workshops meet Australian building standards and are built strong with high quality materials, sourced locally, to last the test of time.

Kits for carports of all sizes, colours and shapes can also be purchased – Parnell’s pride themselves with a colour range vast enough to match with your existing home’s palette so you can rest assured your carport will belong.
