Profile Solutions, a manufacturer of leak detectors and automation equipment, is on track to manufacture a record number of leak testers, despite the difficulties of working during the Covid-19 pandemic.

A statement from the company said as of mid-July, it had made more than half the number of leak testers as last year.

“Covid has been a trying time, with air freight cost and availability affecting inward and outbound costs and an area government has been very slow to try and fix,” the statement said.

“We also will have some new models in testing machines this year that will be finished in the next few weeks that will open up new markets for us.

“We have seen a very significant increase in the order of our multi-head machines that fill a sweet spot which compared to our competition in the US and EU are half the cost or less of leading suppliers from those countries.”

Profile Solutions manufactures and sells high-speed leak testers, which are exported to more than 35 countries. While based in Australia, the company has offices in Singapore and the US.

Profile solutions is a member of the Australian Packaging and Processing Machinery Association (APPMA).
