Quality

A Century of
German & Australian Engineering

Established in Germany, SULO bins have always been engineered to the highest of standards and the most precise of details. High-quality German engineering is in our DNA and has been continually developed and refined for over a century. Compounding the German quality is our localised engineering and technical expertise which has evolved the SULO products to now be bespoke designs specifically engineered for the Australian market.

Quality Assurance

Our reputation is built on quality, and we continue to deliver the highest quality bins in Australia which can withstand the harsh conditions of kerbside collection throughout the country. All of our Mobile Garbage Bins are made in accordance to Australian standards and are engineered to meet or exceed the requirements of AS4123 and EN 840, the current Australian and International standards for mobile garbage bins.

NATA Accredited
Testing Facility

SULO Australia operates a NATA-Accredited MGB testing facility in Australia for Mobile Waste Containers. The facility is located at SULO’s Somersby production plant and is controlled by onsite quality assurance staff. The testing facility was accredited by the National Association of Testing Authorities in early 2008, allowing SULO to perform regular in-house product testing as defined by the MGB standards and also the ability to conduct third party testing.

Quality is part of our everyday manufacturing process at SULO and the establishment of the on-site NATA facility means we are no longer required to send products overseas for testing. Product samples are subject to daily testing to ensure full compliance to both the EN840 and the AS4123 standards, ensuring all bins are consistently manufactured to a high standard. Sample MGBs are put through a drop test, an impact test, and a stress test. Further testing on weight and volume, consistent wall thickness, axle and handle diameter, strength of the bins’ hinges and axles, and UV stability are conducted on a regular basis.

Detailed results from each test are recorded, reviewed, and filed. NATA conducts regular onsite audits to ensure full compliance is maintained. All records and testing methods are reviewed and marked against specific criteria.
