PV Hardware Australia sets New Benchmark with 95% Australian-made Steel Tracker Manufacturing, Supported by Precision Oxycut & Infrabuild

PV Hardware Australia (PVH), a global leader in solar tracking solutions, has strengthened its position as one of Australia’s most advanced locally manufactured tracker suppliers through strategic manufacturing partnerships with Precision Oxycut, New South Wales’s largest steel cutting company and part of the Sell & Parker Group, and Infrabuild, one of Australia’s leading steel producers and long-term suppliers to the infrastructure and energy sectors.

Together, these partnerships position PVH as one of the only tracker manufacturers in the Australian market capable of delivering up to 95% Australian-made steel, directly supporting developers and EPCs preparing bids for VRET2, REZ, and CIS tenders, where Australian steel and domestic manufacturing capability are increasingly critical to tender success.

Through local manufacturing and steel supply from Precision Oxycut and Infrabuild, PVH has expanded Australia’s renewable energy manufacturing capability by producing key tracker components—including piles, torque tubes, motor brackets, and splices—entirely within Australia. This initiative reinforces PVH’s commitment to providing a fully compliant, auditready, and Australian-manufactured tracker solution for large-scale projects prioritising domestic industry participation and supply-chain resilience.

Australian-Made Trackers That Win Tenders
As VRET2, NSW REZ and CIS frameworks increasingly prioritise Australian-made steel and domestic manufacturing, PVH’s 95% Australian-made tracker solution gives EPCs and developers a clear edge—reducing compliance risk, maximising local industry scoring, and strengthening bid competitiveness.

Local Jobs, Proven Capability, Long-Term Industry Growth
PVH’s Australian manufacturing partnerships are already delivering measurable economic impact. The collaboration with Precision Oxycut has created six new skilled manufacturing roles at its Smithfield facility, directly demonstrating how domestic tracker production converts policy objectives into real jobs. With a growing pipeline of large-scale renewable projects, PVH expects these roles to be sustained long term, with additional employment generated as demand scales.

Simon Preston, Managing Director of Precision Oxycut, highlighted the significance of this shift toward Australian manufacturing:
“PVH is leading the way when it comes to solar trackers and the use of local content and local steel. There is no other tracker company on the market that has a workable solution to Australia’s 95% local content targets. We are proud to be aligned with such an amazing company like PVH, who not only deliver a great product but also care deeply about the social licence, the local workforce, and the communities they operate in. Their engagement with domestic suppliers strengthens Australia’s renewable manufacturing future.”

Infrabuild played a critical role in supplying Australian-manufactured torque tubes and piles for the Fulham project, reinforcing the viability of local steel at utility scale. Duane Cornish, National Business Development Manager – Group Manager of Infrabuild, said:

“The Fulham project is a strong example of what can be achieved when local manufacturing is backed into the renewable energy supply chain. Producing torque tube here in Australia supports regional jobs, strengthens capability and gives developers confidence that high-quality steel can be sourced locally at scale.”

Partnering With EPCs and Developers for Tender Success
PVH Australia is fully aligned with the needs of local EPCs and developers as they pursue upcoming VRET2, REZ, and CIS opportunities. PVH’s high-content local manufacturing model:

• -Ensures compliance with Australian-made steel requirements
• -Reduces logistics and import risks
• -Improves project scoring on local content and regional economic contribution
• -Provides full transparency and audit-ready documentation for tender submissions
• -Delivers a proven, reliable tracker system engineered and manufactured for Australian conditions.

“Our mission is to empower our customers to win,” said Trevor De Vries, Vice President Sales, Australia PVH. “Our clients competing in VRET2, REZ, and CIS tender rounds need certainty around local content, steel origin, and supply-chain strength. Our 95% Australian-made tracker solution gives them exactly that—backed by robust local manufacturing, full traceability, and
the confidence that their project meets the most stringent tender requirements.”
