Staunch Bullbars: Quality bullbars, built tough

Based in Toowoomba, Queensland, Staunch Bullbars designs and manufactures a wide range of bullbars for various truck makes and models.

Australian owned and Australian made, its standard and customised bullbars are produced using the highest quality aluminium. In addition, the business also offers in-house polishing, powder coating and bullbar repairs.

Staunch Bullbars was started in 2021 by two friends who’ve known each other for years – Nick Jenner and Steve Berwick, both combining their years of experience.

While Nick has spent many years in the bullbar industry, Steve had owned his own mechanical workshop.

“We decided we wanted to go out on our own and create our own bullbar business – so we took the leap and off we went,” said Nick.

In only three short years, the duo have seen their business come quite a long way. “When we first started out, we were in a tiny little shed and had just three welders. We moved to our current site just over a year ago, at 509 South Street, Toowoomba. We’re now in quite a large establishment and have eight welders here,” he added.

“In moving to this site, we also now have an in-house polisher and a fitting bay to fit the bullbars.”

As Nick revealed the design of the company’s bullbars have changed and evolved with time. “We’ve made changes to the overall design and layout of our products, which has made things more efficient in our build process, made the bullbars stronger and made them look better too.”

Staunch Bullbars has acquired many loyal customers, including major names like Brown and Hurley, Daimler Trucks and Western Truck Group, to name a few, along with many owner operators and fleets big and small too.

It produces a wide range of bullbars for truck brands that include Kenworth, Western Star, Volvo, Fuso, Mack, Hino and Scania.

While Staunch Bullbars has a standard range of bullbars and bumpers available, Nick says its custom offering has become highly sought after. “A lot of what we do is customised – we’ll build what our customers want, whereas a lot of other businesses won’t.

“At Staunch Bullbars, we offer full customisation. We’ve had a few really interesting designs, with how they want the tubes or the pipes, and that sort of thing. We can do whatever our customers want, so long as it fits within Australian Design Rule (ADR) compliance.”

While most of its bullbars are fitted onsite at its Toowoomba workshop, Staunch Bullbars also offers a mobile service too. For those based further away, Staunch Bullbars can also ship its products anywhere in Australia. “We get quite a lot of orders from Melbourne and Adelaide, and have also had a few from Perth,” Nick added.

Staunch Bullbars finishes each project on schedule and with the highest level of quality. For customised bullbars, customers can expect a turnaround time of about 9-12 weeks.

With a focus on personalised service, competitive rates and customer satisfaction, we’re always striving to meet and exceed expectations.
