ABOUT WELLBREWD
Career production people who became equipment specialists — and stayed honest about the difference.
WellBrewd was founded in 2020 by Anthony Clem after more than 15 years in commercial brewing, including as Senior Brewer at XXXX (Castlemaine Perkins) and Head Brewer at Hemingways Brewing Company. Lachy Crothers joined as a partner soon after, bringing his own production pedigree as founder and Group Head Brewer at Ballistic Beer Co and across brewing roles in Australia and the UK.
The gap we saw was simple: Australian manufacturers were paying too much for hygienic stainless steel equipment, or gambling on imports with no engineering support and no one local to stand behind them.
So we built the supplier we wished existed — factory-direct pricing through long-term manufacturing partnerships, proper engineering and design documentation on every project, and equipment specified by people who have actually run production, not just sold to it.
From breweries to the wider industry
Brewing taught us hygienic design the hard way — sanitary welds, drainable geometry, cleanability and thermal performance have to be right on every batch. Today we apply that same discipline across the food and beverage industry, supplying process tanks, CIP systems and brewery equipment to manufacturers in food, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical and personal care production.
We are deliberately a supply-only business. We design and specify your equipment, oversee its manufacture, and deliver it to your site — your own contractors handle installation. That focus keeps our pricing sharp, our advice unconflicted, and your project under your control.
What you can expect from us
-
Straight answers. If the numbers on your project don't stack up, we'll say so before you spend money — not after.
-
Drawings before dollars. P&ID and 3D concept design on every project, approved by you before manufacture begins.
-
Production-side perspective. We've stood on your side of the equipment. We specify what the process needs, not what pads the invoice.
-
Long-term partnerships. We'd rather supply your next five projects than oversell your first one.
