AT A GLANCE WHO: Tollman Pty Ltd WHAT: A customized chemical manufacturer WHERE: 5-7 Maria St, Laverton North VIC 3026, Australia WEBSITE: tollman.net.auprovide services to a wide range of in-
dustries, but Managing Director Mal-
colm Dodson affirms that the majority
of its business is done in agriculture,
a mainstay of the economy of the land
Down Under.
At present, the company services
three core markets: contract tolling,
toll manufacturing and its own propri-
etary products. The company prides it-
self on manufacturing and formulating
its customers own chemical formula-
tions, and if not that, it works to meet
particular specifications assigned to
it. The business of toll manufacturing
needs an extraordinary level of under-
standing and cooperation due to its
largely collaborative nature. As such,
the success of what has been at the
backbone of Tollman’s success, can in
part be attributed to its strong partner-
ships, to cultivate the mutual growth
of all businesses involved.
Tollman’s factory stands strong in
Laverton North, Victoria with substan-
tial manufacturing technology and stor-
age tanks, as well as the workers and
chemical experts that make it all hap-
pen. But what is it specifically about
the company that has really kept the
clock ticking on it all these years? To
unearth this, we spoke in depth with
Dodson about the company, how it op-
erates, and how his leadership has
kept it going and growing.
