Australian-Made Office Storage: What 'Made Here' Means for Your Fit-Out

Storage rarely makes the renders, but it's the part of a fit-out people touch every day. Doors open hundreds of times a week, drawers carry heavy files, and cabinets line corridors where a bad choice blocks the walkway. Getting it right is quiet work. Getting it wrong is obvious.

Bosco Office & Storage designs and man­u­fac­tures com­mer­cial storage in Australia as part of OPIE Man­u­fac­tur­ing Group. Here's what that means for your next project.

Storage is the fit-out item everyone uses

In a modern office, storage does more than hold paper. It defines cir­cu­la­tion, provides acoustic and visual sep­a­ra­tion, frames reception areas, secures con­fi­den­tial records and, in­creas­ing­ly, brings greenery into the workplace. It also has to be ready on the day the staff move in.

The Bosco range

The Bosco store covers:

• Centurion tambour cabinets: aluminium door slats that recede into the cabinet, with standard (25 mm), wide (40 mm) and anodised options, and key, 3-point or elec­tron­ic locking
• Squadron tambour cabinets: powder-coated steel with receding doors, ideal for corridors and open-plan offices
• Squadron lineal filing: two, three or four drawers, each taking two rows of foolscap front-to-back or left-to-right
• Squadron hinged-door cabinets and bookcases: modules designed to line up with the Squadron range
• Squadron planter boxes: sized to line up with the Squadron tambour range, for workplace greening
• Enyo vertical pedestal: a slimline single-drawer pedestal with left- or right-hand access
• Plan cabinets: 6 or 10 drawers for large-format drawings
• SCEC security cabinets: B Class and C Class, man­u­fac­tured to SCEC spec­i­fi­ca­tions
• Bespoke storage: designed and made to the project

What 'made here' gives a project

Bosco products are designed, en­gi­neered and man­u­fac­tured in Australia. For a fit-out, that brings practical benefits:

• One ac­count­able man­u­fac­tur­er for design, man­u­fac­ture and warranty
• Matching additions, so the cabinets you add next year match the ones you bought this year
• Cus­tomi­sa­tion: Bosco can customise most products to suit specific re­quire­ments
• Local con­ver­sa­tion: the factory and the team are a phone call away (02 4728 6111)

Bosco designers use 3D modelling and rapid pro­to­typ­ing, so products are tested and evaluated before they reach the market.

Quality and warranty

Every Bosco product carries a 5-year man­u­fac­tur­er's warranty, and man­u­fac­tur­ing processes are ISO 9001:2015 certified. As part of OPIE Man­u­fac­tur­ing Group, which has operated since 1962, Bosco is backed by more than 60 years of Aus­tralian man­u­fac­tur­ing ex­pe­ri­ence.

Where Bosco storage fits

Bosco supplies four main sectors:

• Education: schools, uni­ver­si­ties and technical colleges, from staff rooms and libraries to secure lockers
• Health­care: hospitals, clinics and lab­o­ra­to­ries, where records must be secure and surfaces easy to clean
• Gov­ern­ment: defence, police and the public sector, including SCEC B and C Class security cabinets for clas­si­fied material
• Com­mer­cial: offices, retail and fit-outs, where storage shapes cir­cu­la­tion and reception areas

In each, the brief is similar: storage that works hard every day, looks con­sid­ered in the space, and can be added to as the or­gan­i­sa­tion changes.

A note for pro­cure­ment

Buyers can ask Bosco for the documents that usually go into a supplier file: the 5-year man­u­fac­tur­er's warranty statement, ISO 9001:2015 cer­ti­fi­ca­tion, a country-of-origin statement and a con­fig­ured quote. Lead times depend on product, quantity and colour, so ask for current lead times for your project.
