AUSTRALIAN OWNED & OPERATED SINCE 1984!

Established in 1984, TQB Brands Pty Ltd (formerly Borum Tools & Equipment) has been renowned as a progressive and a proudly owned Australian tool and equipment company. Originally specialising in light machinery and hand tools, the business has established an enviable reputation working closely with many loyal retail distributors throughout Western Australia.

Opened in the Perth suburb of Willeton as Borum Importers by Robin and Michelle Anderson in 1984 and after 22 years of steady growth, the business was acquired by the da Camara & de Castro families in May 2006. Borum Importers continued operations from the same location in Willetton and weathered the GFC unscathed. In March 2011, it was decided by majority shareholders that Borum Importers be put on the market for sale. Miguel da Camara, the Managing Director at the time, decided to acquire Borum Importers in its entirety, and as of 1 July 2011 Borum Tools & Equipment was established.

After a period of solid growth, Miguel convinced his wife, Tessa, to leave her career in Recruitment to help him further grow the now Borum Tools & Equipment business. What ensued was an investment from Tessa to become an owner in the business and 3 more years of double digit growth.

With increasing success and a strong focus on continual growth, Miguel and Tessa were approached to acquire the much larger national tool & equipment wholesaler "TradeQuip" in June 2015. On 24 September 2015 Miguel and Tessa purchased the TradeQuip brand and became TQB Brands Pty Ltd.

The much larger 'TradeQuip' brand was acquired due to it's reputation as a leading national wholesale supplier of automotive and industrial equipment for the professional trade market and established distribution network in Victoria. Over its 14 year history the TradeQuip business had grown a successful distributor network of more than 1,000 reseller outlets and offered an established customer-base spanning across every Australian state and territory. The TradeQuip range also added a large number of mechanical workshop products suited to the industrial and automotive markets. This diverse range added many products designed specifically for professional automotive or engineering workshop users and included tools suitable for specialist applications.

For Miguel and Tessa, 'TradeQuip' represented a great fit with their strategic growth plans. Being based in Western Australia, the 'TradeQuip' acquisition offered Borum Tools & Equipment a solid entry into the Victorian market and, critically, an established base for expansion nationally.

With a focus on pure value-added import, marketing and distribution services, the TQB Brands mission has always been to deliver an unparalleled level of service, support, and competitive pricing to customers of trade outlets in the automotive, industrial and commercial sectors.

Our strategy will always be to provide our trading partners the advantages associated with solid and diverse supply. Our values include striving for continuous improvement in the delivery of products and services to our market place. For our distributors this means strategic marketing, continual category development, competitive pricing, on-time delivery and product reliability.

Now with a nationwide distribution network, 2 strategically located distribution centres and a specialised range, TQB Brands Pty Ltd will continue to develop its business through recognition of being a strategic long term reputable supplier of garage and workshop equipment to the Automotive and Industrial markets.

The TQB Brands philosophy will be continually developed to become market leading for its quality, innovation and value for money. Sticking in line with this, TQB Brands acquired the assets of ACV Auto Tools and added the Workshop Mate, Workshop Press Station in January 2024. This innovative range of product designed specifically for automotive mechanics incorporates dozens of tools and accessories into one package pressing almost any bearing or bush with PRECISION & ACCURACY in minutes, saving valuable workshop time.
