Ampelite was founded in 1969 by brothers Henk and Ed Verhagen, who began their journey in a small factory in Dandenong, hand-pouring fibreglass sheets with a vision for something greater. What started as a humble operation quickly gained momentum, driven by the brothers' shared passion for fibreglass and relentless pursuit of innovation. Their dedication laid the foundation for Ampelite to become a leading name in the industry, built on quality, ingenuity, and a hands-on commitment to excellence.
We've grown to become a trusted name in the building industry, with nationwide distribution and dedicated manufacturing facilities. From industrial and commercial projects to residential applications, Ampelite's product range – including industry staples like Wonderglas®, Webglas®, and Solasafe® – is engineered to perform in Australia's toughest conditions. Decades of experience have solidified our expertise in roofing and daylighting systems.
Our commitment extends beyond our history. At Ampelite, we relentlessly pursue innovation, continuously developing advanced materials that meet evolving architectural demands. Our mission is to consistently deliver superior quality products engineered for Australian conditions, coupled with unparalleled customer service and technical support. We strive to remain the trusted leader, lighting the way forward in performance and reliability.
