Company History

Trusted partners and suppliers of high quality Plastic Injection Molding Machines and service providers in the plastics industry

In 1997, PBE-Roboplas, an Australian company, was formed by the merging of two successful plastics industry specialists:

PBE Paul Blunschi Electrics, founded in 1975 by Paul Blunschi and Roboplas, founded in 1985 by Francis Frutschi.

Their experience, along with the expertise of our engineers and designers, have enabled PBE-Roboplas to offer unique, outstanding service and trusted partners to the plastics industry. Both Paul and Francis have recently retired.  The company is now managed by Shaun Parker who has been with the company for 20 years and Gerald Frutschi, Francis’ son.

For over 20 years, PBE-Roboplas has now provided sales and service to the plastics industry of Australia. Our staff have extensive experience in plastics machinery, robotics and pneumatics.

Our aim is to support the plastic molder with the repair and maintenance of existing machinery, supply new machinery when needed, or simply help with practical advice.

We are agents for Yizumi, Uniloy Inc, Enmair, Sinco and others.

We also design and manufacture special purpose machines and controls for applications to complement your ideas or designs.
