About Us

Thorburn & Sons (or Thorburns) was established by Edward Thompson Thorburn in 1949. Since then, his son, Ian Thorburn, has continued the team and legacy that ensured the workshop in Gladesville became an institution for the community and a cold one at the end of each day.

With the change in the landscape of large-scale manufacturing in recent years, Ian’s sons decided to continue the legacy of doing what they love and focusing on quality first. They moved the business into specialty fabrication products for the 4WD industry and community. 

Today, Thorburns is run by Josh Thorburn and an incredible team of fabricators, fitters and admin staff.
