About Us

Welcome

SJ Cheesman was established in 1908 as a blacksmith shop, servicing the busy port of Pirie. The company has grown over the years and is now a heavy plate fabricator to the mining, smelting and general process industries in Australia.

SJ Cheesman is located in the city of Port Pirie, adjacent to the Nyrstar Port Pirie Smelter. Port Pirie itself is located on the eastern coast of the Spencer Gulf and is one of the major seaports of South Australia. This location gives SJ Cheesman easy access to transport fabrications to the east, west and the northern coasts of Australia.

What do we do?

As a company we are committed to providing metal trade services to a wide range of industries including the various demands of the large mining and the processing industries of Australia.

To achieve this SJ Cheesman has a skilled labour force of 40 people with the ability to complete large construction projects but still manufacture precision components.

SJ Cheesman employs a range of skilled people in a variety of different fields. These staff work both in SJ Cheesman’s workshops and on site as a client’s needs dictate.
