Our History

Imatech was founded by Warwick and Helen Rule. The business started applying ceramic coatings and quickly expanded to cover a number of product lines.

  • Bulk Material Handling provided services to the bulk commodity companies moving material such as iron ore, coal and other harsh aggressive material. The introduction of Ceramic liners to the industry provided a step change in wear performance and asset life.

  • Imatech Energy provided unique solutions such as coated seamless formed tubing for the Seam Gas industry in Queensland as well as heat exchanger plug and corrosion solutions.
  • ArmorPIPE®: The unique application of ceramic to the internal surfaces of paste and backfill lines has caused Imatech to be recognised as the global leader in the provision of this critical underground infrastructure.
