Company
About us
PRP Manufacturing was established in 1991 (formally Process Rubber and Plastics Pty Ltd) and is a manufacturing-based engineering company specialising in rubber, sponge, foam, plastic, composites, and other specialised materials. Our capability comprises design, fabrication, assembly and integration, and includes a comprehensive state-of-the-art CNC computer cutting facility, featuring 5-axis cutting/machining from waterjet, router, knife, laser and die press technology.
Today, PRP Manufacturing has evolved into a vertically integrated engineering and manufacturing company, delivering multi-material, sub-systems integration, and project management solutions. Leveraging precision technologies and extensive industry knowledge, PRP seamlessly combines a wide range of materials, processes and technologies into complex assemblies and for a multitude of applications. Our vertical integration includes the management and coordination of external capabilities (through our technical support network) as part of larger sub-systems or final assemblies, supported by PRP’s in-house management capabilities and proprietary software for complete traceability within and across workflows.
Looking into the future, PRP aims to continue to invest into in-house capability, and further expand its technical support network, diversifying the sophistication and functionality of its integrated manufacturing model. We are also enhancing our design-for-manufacture methodologies and digital traceability tools to accelerate prototyping and reduce time to deployment for testing and production.
We are fully ISO 9001:2015 quality certified and have assisted many top-tier suppliers in conforming to the highest quality standards (including AS9100).
Our core offering:
- Integrated solutions – design, engineering, project management, production, sub-assembly integration, and our technical support network
- Advanced manufacturing technologies – 5-axis CNC machinery, 3D-printing technology, extrusion, mouldings, fabrication and assembly
- Extensive materials – rubber, sponge, foam, plastic, composites, cork, fibre and more

Industries Served
Defence & Aerospace: Packaging for guided weapons, EMI/RF-shielded enclosures, space-qualified foam solutions, battlefield telecommunication enclosures, improvised explosive device detection shielding, radar system subcomponents, custom gaskets, and acoustic insulation.
Space Technologies: Lightweight, impact-resistant packaging and mounts for storage and handling of satellite payloads and space instruments.
Mining, Oil & Gas: Chemically resistant seals, thermal insulation systems, conveyor rubber, skirting, liners, and protective packaging for sensitive instrumentation and control devices used in exploration, refining, and offshore platforms. PRP’s materials are selected to perform under high pressures, extreme temperatures, and corrosive environments, supporting safety and operational uptime in harsh field conditions.
HVAC: Precision-cut gaskets, thermal insulation, acoustic dampening materials, and air sealing solutions tailored for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. PRP’s components help optimise energy efficiency, reduce system noise, and ensure long-term durability in both commercial and industrial HVAC installations. Solutions are designed to meet industry standards for fire resistance, condensation control, and environmental performance.
Civil Infrastructure: Custom gaskets, expansion joint seals, acoustic insulation, and weather-resistant enclosures for critical public infrastructure projects including bridges, tunnels, transport hubs, and water treatment facilities. These solutions support long-term durability, reduced maintenance, and improved environmental resistance.
Rail Transport: High-durability sealing systems, vibration isolation components, and fire-retardant insulation materials for rolling stock, signalling infrastructure, and control systems. PRP’s rail solutions are engineered to comply with key international standards for fire safety, ensuring safe operation and passenger protection in high-speed and commuter rail networks.
Telecommunications/Electronic: Enclosures and gaskets for signal-sensitive components requiring high EMI performance, control of radio frequency transmission, or thermal conductivity/insulation.
Automation & Robotics: Vibration damping, noise reduction, and protective casings for intelligent systems and autonomous platforms.
Aftermarket Retail: PRP provide short/long-run production and bespoke solutions for delicate equipment such as precision measuring equipment, terrestrial and celestial scopes, binoculars, tripods, and secure-protective cases for firearms.
