Who and where we are
GIBPAT is a family owned, hospitality industry supply company, with offices in Brisbane and Sydney and distribution agents in place in Auckland, Adelaide, Melbourne and North Queensland. The Hall and Sinclair families who own GIBPAT, have both had long associations with the hospitality industry.
What we do
We specialise in the supply of quality products to hotels, resorts, restaurants, cafes, apartments, stadiums, hospitals, nursing homes and institutional customers, located throughout Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific region. We are also very experienced in major project fitout work, incorporating design and construction. Our custom design work extends to smaller items such as chinaware and holloware.
What makes us different
We are well known not only for our ability to help people with unusual requests and problems (we love a challenge), but also for our commitment to technological innovation and sourcing exciting new products. It's a little unusual for a hospitality supply company to spend money on research and development, but that's another thing that sets us apart. We also have a rigorous testing program for our new products, to make sure they have what it takes for the tough Australian market. We know it's all about spending less and making more profit for you, so that's our mission.
Our team
Each of our team are specialists in a particular area, providing expert advice no matter what your needs are. Together, they have a combined 150 years of industry experience. We happily provide free advice as part of our family service. We also represent many of the world's most respected brands, showcased in the Major Partners area of this site.

Below is a picture we just couldn't resist putting in. This blast chiller was the subject of numerous viewings before being shipped out. It was an absolute monster, as you can see from the picture of Scott Kirton standing beside it.
