About

Forward Thinker

Seventy years ago, a young and enterprising Queenslander recognised a need in the building industry and decided to take action. Les Palmer set up a makeshift steel fabrication business in his backyard, producing one-off handrails and columns for local builders. Through word of mouth, his small venture quickly grew, and before long, the increasing demand from his customers necessitated expansion.

Building a Legacy of Innovation


From its humble beginnings, Palmer Steel Industries became synonymous with reliability and precision. Les Palmer’s focus on delivering tailored solutions for builders laid the foundation for a company culture rooted in problem-solving and innovation. His ability to adapt to the changing needs of the industry ensured that PSI grew into a trusted name across Queensland and beyond.

Still Proudly Palmer-Owned

Today, the hard-working attitude and passion for which Les Palmer was renowned remain deeply ingrained in Palmer Steel Industries. Under the leadership of his son Ian and supported by a loyal, long-serving team, the company continues to uphold its founder’s legacy.
