Townsville in 1985 was at the threshold of its massive expansion in all aspects of industry, mining and primary production. The building industry, at that time, was gearing itself up to be a part of this expansion. From the back of a sheetmetal workshop in the Townsville suburb of Aitkenvale, Anton Pilz's Arch Template Hire And Sales was created. Anton's mission statement was to provide a quality
and reliable service to the builders and bricklayers with the hire, supply and sales of window headers and arches along with the sale of quality building tools and the supply of only the best in associated materials. A dedicated service of this caliber was readily accepted and Arch Template Hire And Sales quickly expanded, necessitating a move to larger premises in Garbutt. During 1990, Anton, realizing a need yet again formed True Blue Concrete Products. This new division specialized in the sale of mini slabs, step treads, car stops and stamped pavers and quickly became a recognized addition to the range of products and services. Not one to stop there, Anton again diversified his business and included the manufacture and sales of metal door frames. With this level of expansion, the need to be housed in a complete one -stop building supply centre was very much needed and Arch Template Hire and Sales made the move to its present location. The growth also saw the appointment of Mr. Glen Brockhurst as manager of this highly organized and dedicated operation, who now leads a team of seven staff who share in his commitment to the provision of quality products to these industries
