Formit has bucked the trend to go
offshore and has invested in Australian
manufacturing with the launch of its new
thermoforming machine and CNC Cutter
machine at its Central Coast facility.
The new thermoformer now makes wall
panels and roof panels, doors and door
jambs for Formit portable toilets, bringing
all manufacturing in house and replacing
the need to outsource.
Sourced from Chicago in the US, the
thermoformer took two and a half months
to build in Australia. All trimmings from
the CNC Cutter, which trims and cuts all the
thermoformed panels to requirement, are
fully recyclable.
According to Glen Doherty, Managing
Director of Formit Portable Toilets: “The
thermoformer gives us the flexibility to
tailor our run size, specify our orders and
create unique designs.
“Whereas before our suppliers were
letting us down with poor quality materials,
poor supply on time and the requirement
to order large material runs which we then
had to store, now we control our own
manufacturing,” Glen said.
New thermoformer launched
in Australia (north of Sydney), also commit
to recycling the toilet units once they have
reached the end of their functional life.
“We have a system where we recycle
75% of each of the end-of-life product.
Hygienic toilet units will keep us in business
and disposing of waste and cleaning the
units in an environmentally responsible
way is good for everyone,” he said.

“The thermoformer will
increase our productivity. On the
thermoformer we can make two
doors in three minutes. It takes
90seconds for one cycle.”
With the launch of its new
thermoformer, Formit plans to
launch three new products by the
end of 2012; two for the domestic
market one for the export market.
