The Institute of Public Works Engineering Annual Trade Exhibition & Conference

For the first time, the annual Institute of Public Works Exhibition was held in the Royal Agricultural Society grounds alongside the Sydney Olympic Stadium. It was also the first time that Nextep has exhibited our range of product at this prestigious event.

To demonstrate just how unique and versatile the Nextep Miyama products are, we teamed up with two other leading organizations that are also users of our products. Aqualift Pty Ltd a water reservoir cleaning and refurbishment contractor and B.R. Durham Pty Ltd, a leading ductile manhole cover, gal steel grating and concrete product manufacturer.

As can be seen from the attached photographs, the variety displayed by the combination of three separate companies was an obvious hit with exhibition visitors and organizers alike. In our inaugural showing at the premier engineering product exhibition, Nextep Australia was judged as the winner of the "Best Small Stand" award.

Being the premier engineering exhibition, the visitors were of exactly the type of clientele we are trying to attract. This was evident with the number of serious quotation inquiries received in the week following the close of the exhibition and we look forward to following up our first year's effort with an improved display at next years exhibition.

The next exhibition where the range of Nextep Miyama products will be displayed is in Mackay, North Queensland. This is a mining based trade show that should also prove to be a winner for Nextep, as our products have already been proved as the quality alternative for use in highly corrosive areas, such as the mining industry.

Good Design Award


December 2001

Miyama Corporate Group has recently received from JIDPO (Japan Industrial Design Promotion Organization) a 2001 Good Design Award for its Noblen Lofty Stepping Irons.

Miyama has been manufacturing stepping irons for more than 40 years and

it is the first time in its history it has received this splendid prize.

JIDPO has evaluated and acknowledged Miyama's stepping irons being long

life products, without corrosion,  safety conscious and highly visible. 

The Good Design Award was created by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (previously known as Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) in 1957, to acknowledge a good product, encouraging industries to produce high quality and safe products.

Innovation has and will always be one of Miyama's advantages.

We are proud to be a world leader in this industry.

Local Government Trade Exhibition - LOGOV '01

Brisbane, Queensland


November 2001

For two days in mid-October Nextep was invited to attend a local government trade exhibition in Brisbane. The exhibition was directly focussed on local government suppliers and engineering contractors. The Nextep stand created an impressive amount of intention, so much so that Bill Allan and Chris Andrews were interveiwed by a local radio station with regard to what is is we were manufacturing.

The bright yellow FRP ladder was the highlight of the interview and undoubtedly will become a popular item for the local government community. The non-corrosive properties of the ladders, grating and manhole covers were aspects of the Nextep Miyama range that was well received by the government engineers.

Mining & Energy Show, 18-20 Sept, Muswellbrook NSW


October 2001

The first official trade exhibition attended by Nextep Miyama (Australia) concluded as an overwhelming success. Held annually in the heartland of the Australian coal fields, the township of Muswellbrook is situated approximately 3.5 hours drive north west of Sydney. The Hunter region is a conglomerate of open cut coal mines, underground coal mines, power generation stations, and all of the ancilliary industries associated with the mining & energy industry.

As the only exhibitor of polypropylene step irons, FRP grating or manhole covers, the Nextep stand was always a point of interest. To date we have already received orders for our products from mines outside of the Hunter region, and we are currently in discussions to export our product to the gold mines of Papua New Guinea.

What's UP from DOWNUNDER!


June 2001

The latest addition to the Miyama Corporate Group, Nextep Miyama  Pty Ltd (Australia), has opened it's doors in new premises just outside metropolitan Sydney. With an existing client base to service throughout Australia and New Zealand, the learning curve for the infant of the group has been steep.

"Clients have been eagerly awaiting the release of our Water Services  Association of Australia (WSAA) recommended step irons and ladders" says managing director Chris Andrews and adds "We have brought a whole new  standard of quality and variety to a market that has a real need for our solutions".

The initial sales leading area has been Queensland, through long time distributor Bill Allan and Barry Aplin of Fabfit Pty Ltd, Brisbane, there has been a great acceptance for the use of the Nextep Miyama product in quality projects. The latest project undertaken by Nextep was to supply GRP grating for sump pits and trenches within the newly constructed high-tech Ingham's chicken processing plant in Brisbane. "The fats and acids would be too corrosive for ordinary galvanised steel grating, and stainless is an uneconomical option" says Bill Allan. From this project interest and orders have been received from the largest prawn hatcheries in the southern hemisphere.

An award winning Gold Coast civil construction company, South East Excavations has integrated the use of the Nextep Miyama step irons into the largest residential construction site in Queensland. The Casuarina project required step irons that would be suitable for the highly corrosive coastal development. Several thousand steps have already been installed in stage one of twelve stages to be developed over the next ten years.
