Backing Local:
Why Australian-Made Matters at CRF
As featured in The Land, April 2025
Clear Ridge Fabrication is proudly Australian-owned and operated, with a growing team of 17 locals based in West Wyalong, NSW. For co-founders Kaidan and Dallas Boyd, backing local has been part of the business since day one.
"We take pride in supporting local businesses and suppliers, knowing the positive flow-on effect it has for our economy and our community." says Kaiden Boyd
Through the production of CRF’s award-winning SUPA Bins and Chaser Bins, the business works closely with a network of Australian suppliers and service providers — many from right here in the Central West.
Some of the Australian businesses CRF partners with include:
-
The Big Sticker Co Stickers (run by Kaidan
and Dallas’s sister, Alleesha) -
West Wyalong Powder Coating powder coating
(run by their brother-in-law, Tim, who also works at CRF) - Precision Painting Painting
- Davies Automotive West Wyalong
- Bell’s Auto & Air West Wyalong
- Days Industrial West Wyalong
- Riverina Belting Co
- Lachlan Kitto Engineering West Wyalong
- KM Kustom Fabrication West Wyalong
- Spiral Tubes
- OTR Australia
- Armadillo
- Southcott
- Stauff
- BlueScope
- Ellis & Sons
These partnerships not only support regional jobs, but also ensure that CRF products are made with top-quality Australian materials — built tough for Australian conditions.
“We’ve always believed in backing local,” says Kaidan. “Because when you support Australian-made, you're not just getting quality gear — you're backing your neighbours, your mates, and the future of farming.”
CRF’s products are designed with a focus on innovation, safety, and efficiency. Built for Aussie farmers, and made the SUPA way.
Community Support and National Recognition
CRF is also proud to be the major sponsor of the West Wyalong Show, where they support agricultural innovation and community connection.

In 2022, CRF received national recognition at the Henty Machinery Field Days, taking home the Innovation Award for their SUPA Bin, recognised as the Best Australian-Designed and Manufactured Machine.
From supporting Aussie suppliers to building award-winning machinery, CRF is committed to making a difference – locally and nationally.
