Australia’s last maker of Carpet Gripper and Carpet Seaming Tape

BBS Flooring Products is proud to be an Australian owned and operated business, manufacturing in the heart of Dandenong, Victoria. By maintaining their Australian based manufacture, they keep alive the tradition of crafting quality Carpet Grippers and Carpet Seaming Tapes using local knowhow.

BBS are grateful to be Australia’s last manufacturer of Carpet Gripper and Carpet Seaming Tapes. At a time when their competitors have offshored their manufacturing to gain cost advantages in low wage countries like China and Thailand, they fight to keep it local.

Their driving motivation is to keep their Carpet Gripper and Carpet Seaming Tape manufacture in Australia because their very success is only possible through the hard work and dedication of an experienced Australian workforce.

By offering a diverse range of domestic and commercial carpet grippers suitable for all sub-floors and carpet constructions they ensure their Carpet Grippers will always be in demand. The range they make is so versatile that installers from Dunedin in New Zealand to Perth in the West can find the right Carpet Gripper for their installations.

The same goes for the wide range of Carpet Seaming Tapes they manufacture, from double bond to 6”, or gold foil, all designed and made by BBS for the Australasian carpet industry.

While BBS prides itself on being a modern manufacturer, they are careful to use only the tried and tested manufacturing methods they know. These traditional techniques, along with accumulated knowledge make their products unique and high quality. They prioritize quality and reliability above anything else, and don’t compromise on raw materials, or cut corners in their manufacture.

To stay competitive against low wage countries like China and Thailand, they have automated their production and constantly strive to maximize productivity wherever possible.

As part of their productivity drive, they are committed to sustainability and to reducing their environmental impact. They do this through many small initiatives like only using sustainable harvested FSC certified plantation plywood in their Carpet Grippers, or by reducing their carbon footprint through the management of energy efficiencies, and by constantly striving to minimize waste.

Their commitment to sustainability is not only good for the environment, but it also ensures that they maintain their place as a leading Australian manufacturer of flooring installation accessories for years to come.

The long-serving employees are BBS’s most important asset, followed closely by their commitment to their customers. BBS takes great pride in supporting customers nationwide by responding to their different market needs through the wide variety of products they make.

Placing customer satisfaction above all, working closely with customers to understand their requirements so they can design and build better installation solutions that meet their specific needs.

By combining all these factors, BBS strives to stay on top as an Australian manufacturer. Their vast range of products and the knowledge they have gained through years of hard work in Australian manufacturing, means they can look forward to a strong future in the floor covering industry.
