Hilldav: A History
Hilldav started life making pottery kilns in 1974; we made a range of pottery kilns for both pottery and industry. About the same time we started making Etching Presses. Using traditional bottom roller drive but with modern materials.
We started in a small workshop but as we expanded, we soon moved to a factory in Old Toongabbie where we stayed until 2013.
In 2013 we discontinued production at the Old Toongabbie site and have moved to a smaller site to continue support and repairs for Kilns and Presses.
