Triton
In the workshops and garages of more than 350,000 Australian households - and in many tens of thousands of households overseas - you can find woodworking machines and equipment painted in a distinctive bright orange, the hallmark of Melbourne-based Triton Manufacturing & Design Co. Pty. Ltd. It began back in 1975, when George Lewin, who was then a 26 year-old journalist, was wrestling with a woodwork project. His problem was a common one... how to cut straight and square with a hand saw. The purchase of a circular saw didn't provide the solution. The cuts were still off-square - and the power saw was terrifying to use. Determined not to waste the money he'd spent on the timber and tools, he sat down and decided to design a way to guide and control the circular saw. His first prototype was constructed from water pipe, chipboard and odds and ends, but worked well. He was able to squarely cross-cut the timber for the legs and top for the coffee table he was making. This resulted in the Mark 3 Workcentre which was launched in Australia in 1983. It really took off, and sales started doubling year after year, assisted by an in-store video, a national programme of in-store demonstrations, innovative marketing promotions and excellent word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied users. The Future Innovation is part of the Company's mission statement. Existing products will continue to evolve and improve, and new and exciting products will be added to the range as increasing numbers of consumers world-wide discover the joys of woodwork and the benefits of the Triton Workshop System.
