From Blacksmith to Industry Leader
Dimitrios Litsios, a skilled blacksmith, began by crafting truck exhausts, leveraging his expertise as a MIG welder. Recognising the needs of his community, he pivoted to creating gates, security doors, and barbecues for the local Greek population within Melbourne and Adelaide. This versatility and customer-focused approach led to valuable contract work, positioning AGE as a tier one and tier two supplier for renowned companies like Kenworth trucks and other Heavy Vehicle Manufacturers.
