MiTek Australia is part of the world-wide MiTek Group; an organisation that works in partnership with thousands of licensed MiTek fabricators around the globe.  It is also a proud member of the Berkshire Hathaway Group of Companies.

 MiTek reshaped the building industry in Australia nearly 60 years ago with the introduction of the Gang-Nail connector plate.  This ingenious, structurally engineered, pressed metal plate with integrated teeth paved the way for the mass production of prefabricated timber components – primarily, timber roof trusses.

 MiTek also has a wide range of creative and innovative products for the building industry. These include: the PosiStrut Roof & Floor system, PosiStrut Flooring Cassettes, a huge range of Engineered Building Products and…the world’s most powerful software program for the prefabricated timber industry – MiTek SAPPHIRE™.
