Our Story

2025

In 2025, Ozcon took delivery two new machines with customised material handling systems, now installed, commissioned and fully operational with a programmable automated loading and unloading system. The material handling system, loads, levels, rotates and transitions pipes from 2” to 24” in diameter in joint lengths from 1 metre to 12 metres. The combined process offers unique variability at high productivity and efficiency levels delivering speed and accuracy in unprecedented levels. These new machines have also enhanced our range of AFJ-L integrally threaded casing to include diameters up to and including 24″ casing. Significantly reducing lead times on large diameter threaded casing by entirely removing the requirement for welding couplings..

2024

2024 culminated in the receipt of our newly made range of polypropylene thread protectors incorporating all sizes up to 12”.  We designed and had fabricated our own high pressure multi cavity injection mould dies providing fit for purpose branded thread protection for our Ozcon threaded tubular products.

2022

2022 Saw the release to market of our light walled AFJ-L casing thread. We understood our customers’ requirements for a light-walled integral thread solution and were pleased to announce the launch of a new product by using our industry leading AFJ® thread and adapting it to suit light walled casing, the AFJ-L.

The new AFJ-L flush jointed casing thread is available on 9 mm wall thickness variants from 10-3/4” diameter through to 16” and 12 mm wall thickness variants from 18” through to 24” diameters.
