A Message from
ASKIN CEO, Steve Clarke
ASKIN Performance defines a unique level of service excellence based on cutting edge panel technology.
The strength of the brand is derived from the sum of its parts: local organisations across Australia and New Zealand made up of highly dedicated individuals who work closely with their clients as specialists in their field, applying the most advanced panel technology to achieve exceptional results. This level of dedication and quality is captured by one word: PERFORMANCE.
ASKINโs History
In April 2013 the company formally known as Austral Australia rebranded to ASKIN as part of a strategic approach to capture the very essence of what it stands for. ASKINโs primary activity consists of the manufacture of insulated panels and installation and construction of temperature-controlled buildings, facades and roofing. ASKIN is the brand that links a cluster of Australian and New Zealand subsidiaries โ formerly part of the Austral Group of Companies.
The first of these companies, Austral Insulation Panel Pty Ltd, was established in Victoria in 1964. Shortly after Austral Insulation Western Australia was established in 1969. From 2000 onwards, the Austral Group of Companies was expanded through a series of selected acquisitions and business developments of other insulated panel manufacturers and installers.

What our clients say
Delivering excellent service on top of high performance panel products.
ASKIN Panel were first class
The fire and acoustic values are our two biggest concerns, and from my point of view, it is widely accepted and acknowledged as that ASKIN can provide the right material. ASKIN were first class when we needed them.
Arthur WIlliams, Executive Director
Strongly recommended ASKIN as a partner with Coles
ASKIN have access to a range of panel products. Whether itโs an XFLAM, EPS-FR, mineral wool, or PIR panel, they will come up with an answer. When creating the Coles ASKIN Specification brief, ASKIN would provide solutions which satisfied our needs. Thatโs why I strongly recommended ASKIN as a partner with Coles.
Reg Binding, Building Services Engineer, Coles
ASKIN was extremely helpful
The XFLAM panel was quite efficient in the construction process, able to cover large areas of walls and roofing in such a short amount of time. The panel also has an aesthetic appeal within the architectural design. ASKIN was extremely helpful throughout the whole process.
Damian Summers, Architect Director, Summers Architects
ASKIN Panel coolroom
I was quite specific about the type of coolroom I needed for my restaurant, and the guys at ASKIN built what I wanted perfectly. You buy good food, and you pay top dollar for it, so you want it to last, and a great ASKIN coolroom does that.
Adrian Richardson, Celebrity Chef, Laluna
Excellent outcome for all
Itโs always great working with a group of people with a common goal and working with the ASKIN team no exception on our CSL Behring project. Quality outcome focused, backed by support for design and delivery was what we wanted in a partner, and thatโs what the ASKIN team delivered. It was a pleasure to work with a company whose values, performance and approach align with our own. Itโs been an excellent outcome for all.
