Camsew was founded in 1968 working firstly from my home address, then from a shop in Chester Street Oakleigh a Melbourne suburb by myself Ron Camm my back ground being a sewing machine mechanic. Most people in that area would be more likely to remember my Eaton Street store, which was more central. My business Served the needs of all sewing machine users, The clothing trade made up a large section of my customers, most of the clothing customers have since closed, but I pride my self that the remaining ones are still being serviced and supplied by my business. below are examples from a variety of industries.
Over the years I have sourced my industrial machines locally, having access to all makes, and models, which I am still able to do, plus we now import from China a selection of makes and models which I sell under the established name of Camsew, and Typical who make the Brother machines. I don't import anything that cannot be backed by a 12 months on site service, in the Melbourne Met. area.
