In 1976 with 20 years industry experience Grahame Orchard launched Wallboard Tool Company as Australia’s first specialised tool supplier for the plasterboard industry. His vision was to provide Australian plasterers with a comprehensive range of trade quality tools that included iconic brands like Hyde Tools, Wallboard Tools, Telpro Panellifts, Premier Taping Tools, Trim-Tex and many more, all introduced by Grahame and Wallboard Tool Company. This vision also proved to be the foundation that led Wallboard Tools to become the largest supplier of specialty plasterboard tools in Australia.
