The head office and state of the art showroom showcasing 100s of designs on display and holding stock of every design and cornice is located in Adelaide at 20 Fifth Street Brompton, just minutes from the CBD. Australian Pressed Metal and Adelaide Pressed Metal is owned and operated by Phil Cooymans, a prominent member of the South Australian building and ceiling industry with over 40 years’ experience. Phil commenced his apprenticeship in the ceiling industry in 1977 which importantly included competency-based training in the use of pressed metal. After working in the building industry for many years Phil formed his own company in 1984. Adelaide Pressed Metal was formed in 2000 as demand increased for quality pressed metal designs manufactured in original imperial measurements, for heritage restoration. With this in mind Phil opened the first showroom with a stock list of around 36 designs. The Australian Pressed Metal Group was later formed and there is now an outlet in every state throughout Australia & New Zealand, run by licensed tradesmen, experienced in the installation of pressed metal and the building trade.

Australian Pressed Metal are fortunate enough to own the original pressed metal dies from South Australian manufacturer TW Inghams, the last remaining original pressed metal manufacturer left in Australia, saving them from the same fate as the original Wunderlich dies. Thousands of original Wunderlich metal dies were destroyed back in the 1950’s along with the metal dies of another NSW manufacturer Anthony Hordern Embossed Steel Panels. Both companies were bought out and ceased production of pressed metal products when heritage features were not as highly prized as they are today.
