In 1946 Arthur ‘Frank’ Gason founded a small, family owned and operated motor trimming business in Ararat, Western Victoria that built tractor cabs. Naturally; he called it GASON. Today the same GASON family employ 120 staff on a modern 12 acre manufacturing facility in regional Victoria, where we produce some of the world’s best quality Slashers, Mowers and Tillage equipment. It’s a success story founded on a few simple ideas; That Australian users need the best quality equipment from a firm that values the Australian way of life.
That Australia should be self-sufficient in raw materials, manufacturing, food production and engineering.
And so, true to Franks vision, Gason’s long life Australian made equipment continues to be made in Ararat and sold all across Australia and the world.
