Industrial Sewing Machinist & Fabric Finisher

Shadetex Australia is a wholesale manufacturer of premium outdoor blinds and awnings based in St Marys. We supply an independent dealer network nationwide and we take what we build seriously. Our team is hands-on, our standards are high, and we're growing rapid.
