The $1.5m grant made headlines, but this Wollongong company has been quietly building a $100m future for a decade
Never heard of Gravitas until last week? You’re not alone - but the story goes much deeper.
Ten years ago, Gravitas Technologies was little more than an ambitious idea inside a shed on Montague Street, Wollongong.
Fast forward to today, and the Coniston-based engineering firm is breaking ground on a world-class advanced materials production centre and is poised to deliver high-tech breakthroughs across aerospace, defence, green steel, and more.
The firm has ambitious plans to achieve an annual turnover of $100 million within five years.
But until last week, it’s unlikely you’d have heard of Gravitas, or even realised the depth of research and development they were undertaking in the Illawarra.
