Our History
Founded in the 1980s, Newgrove began as a small kitchen cabinetry manufacturer in a workshop on Maxwell Avenue, Belmont. The business quickly grew after acquiring an American Evans Postformer, leading to its relocation to larger premises on Currier Street, Breakwater.
Soon after, Sean and a colleague took ownership, guiding the company through significant growth and eventually moving to the current workshop on Leather Street, Breakwater. With a focus on innovation and craftsmanship, Newgrove has evolved over the years, shifting its specialisation to bespoke benchtops.
For over 30 years, Sean and his dedicated team of over 20 staff have continued to push the boundaries of quality and design, delivering custom-made benchtops that blend style and durability. Serving residential, hospitality, health, and education sectors, Newgrove has become a trusted name in Geelong and surrounding regions.
As a locally owned and operated business, we pride ourselves on using cutting-edge technology and expert craftsmanship to offer a wide range of benchtop options, tailored to meet the needs of our diverse clientele. Our commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction is at the heart of everything we do.
