Arnos Australia Pty Ltd is a family owned company, founded by the late Bill Martin in 1943 as Arnos Supplies, and is now managed by his son-in-law, Roger Henry. Manufacturing operations commenced in 1944, making map pins for the US Army. At this time, Bill Martin also purchased the Swallow Needle Mfg. Co. for its' facility to mould the heads for the map pins. The acquisition of Swallow brought with it the capacity to manufacture hand knitting needles. Arnos next commenced the manufacture of their No.3 Long Prong Paper Fastener from cannery offcuts of tin plate. Visits to the cannery to collect scrap exposed their need for wire formed meat can keys. The Meat Can Keys are still being made in the Swallow plant today. The Arnos expanded range of quality office filing systems began at the Nepean Highway Plant, shortly after the end of World War II with Cardex Visible Record systems, which at their zenith were sold into 44 countries world wide. We invite you to look at what we make today. Arnos Today Arnos in it's Early Days Arnos has an ISO 9002 quality certification and has won two national export awards for outstanding achievement in the field of exports, plus the prestigious Governor of Victoria Export Award.   Certificate of Registration AS/NZS ISO 9001:2000.
