A Collaborative Effort Shaping Lives Through Australian-Made Products

Orrcon Steel Distribution and CAP Furniture: A Collaborative Effort Shaping Lives Through Australian-Made Products

Orrcon Steel Distribution and CAP Furniture have joined forces to create high-quality, Australian-made products for children with disabilities. This partnership combines Orrcon’s durable steel materials with CAP’s thoughtful designs, resulting in strong, adjustable furniture that makes a meaningful difference in people’s lives, especially children. By working together with Orrcon Steel Distribution, CAP provides custom-made solutions that support children’s development and well-being, while emphasising the importance of locally made products.

The Impact of High-Quality Local Materials

CAP Furniture is a family-owned business based on Yerrongpilly, QLD providing high-quality, solution-focused furniture for children and adults with special needs. They rely on Orrcon Steel’s square tubing to build frames and legs for posture chairs, tables, toilet steps, and other custom equipment. These products, designed in consultation with parents, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists, cater to the unique needs of children with disabilities. Orrcon’s steel ensures strength and durability, enabling the furniture to withstand daily use while maintaining its adjustability—one of the most praised features.

“The robustness of the product and the fact that it’s locally manufactured are things I am incredibly proud of,” says the owner of CAP Furniture. Orrcon’s materials have played a big role in helping CAP produce flexible equipment that supports children’s development and offers peace of mind to caregivers.

A Partnership Driven by Purpose

CAP Furniture was born out of a desire to make a difference in people’s lives. The company’s new owner, Mark, originally from South Africa, is a mechanical engineer and father of two. His motivation to purchase CAP Furniture started from his desire to contribute to the community while fulfilling a personal dream of running his own business.

“I always wanted to run my own business but was hesitant to take the leap. However, when I discovered CAP Furniture, I immediately felt a connection. The opportunity to create products that improve children’s lives was something I couldn’t pass up,” he reflects.

For Orrcon Steel Distribution, supporting a local business with such an inspiring mission aligns with our own values. Orrcon’s commitment to customer support has helped CAP Furniture overcome challenges, such as sourcing the right materials. When Mark encountered difficulty finding the correct size tubing for the toilet steps, Orrcon’s Account Manager, Marii Reinsalu, took the initiative to find a solution, ensuring the project continued without delayProducts That Make a Difference

The response from therapists and caregivers has been overwhelmingly positive. CAP Furniture’s products are highly valued for their adjustability, affordability, and customisation. These features, combined with Orrcon’s durable steel components, ensure each product can be tailored to meet a child’s specific needs.

A Partnership That Lasts

For both Orrcon Steel Distribution and CAP Furniture, this partnership is a natural fit, driven by a shared commitment to quality, reliability, and community impact. Orrcon’s high standards and responsive customer support have enabled CAP Furniture to create equipment that continues to serve long after a child has outgrown it—products that rarely experience failure or need to be returned.

This collaboration demonstrates that when local businesses come together with a clear vision and shared values, the result is more than just a product. It’s a solution that improves lives, fosters a sense of community, and supports Australian manufacturing.

By working with Orrcon Steel Distribution, CAP Furniture can fulfill its mission: to design and deliver products that not only meet the functional needs of children and adults with disabilities but also create a lasting, positive impact on their development and well-being.

Together, they are building a future where purpose-driven products are the norm, ensuring that everyone has the support they need to thrive.
