natett Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 the biggest issue is 90% of suppliers in Australia already bring in chinese, thai and so on made products. On a recent fitout i completed i sent back 4 display units as they were rusted out. With more and more retailers only going for the cheapest prices you'll be hard pressed to develop a market of second hand products when cheaper new products are in high demand. Ive built that many restaurants and cafes that will only use low budget products as they simply do not have enough capital to build their new shop. of course this provides more headaches then they're worth but unfortunately all they see is the bottom dollar... You're correct about Australia being very overpriced for commercial kitchen products. we have found clients will often approach companies directly to try save costs. they will surf the net contact overseas companies and much more to avoid using local suppliers.

Mohsen Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 your exactly right but alot of our customers avoid chinese equipment like the plague, i even had a man pay $500 more for a secondhand kitchen prep bar than a brand new chinese prep bar we do import chinese models but all are fitted with danfoss motors and we also spend a bit extra and make sure its good quality stainless steel. so i did do a bit of research and am definatly looking forward to bringing some stuff over from japan. maybe i can sneak in a GTR without the boss noticing Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/327925-restaurant-equipment/#findComment-5335928 Share on other sites More sharing options...
