Interested in a Manufacturing Licence?
We believe absolutely everyone should be able to benefit from the amazing Dam Buster experience and the huge assurance that our quality built, fully engineered and conforming products provide over existing ones in the market. We want to share these amazing Aussie inventions with the world. Becoming an authorised licensee manufacturer will begin the journey for you.
Our very simple and financially remunerative, non-exclusive licencing arrangements will allow any capable manufacturer to very quickly make and sell our products. Dam Buster products are best suited to businesses who want to diversify their product range or else replace existing non-conforming products with Dam Buster designs.
Unlike most other rain goods currently on the Australian and NZ market, all of our products are based on laser cut blanks which are then precision folded and assembled. The high precision of this process ensures top quality, extremely cost effective and 100% repeatable products are quickly made every single time with no room for production errors. This process also eliminates the substantial wastage and rework currently associated with manually based manufacturing systems. Flat pack laser cut blanks take up very little room, meaning they can be easily shipped and stored anywhere in huge numbers ready for quick folding and assembly to customer order; this also means no more piles of completed products taking up valuable storage space in the warehouse.
Other methods of cutting the products are possible e.g using a turret press, however are subject to specific approval by Dam Buster on a case by case basis to ensure product quality is fully maintained. Due to the extremely high precision folds involved, there is however no option for folding other than using a CNC controlled brake press.
Due to the incredible precision of the cut components and folding methods, the final assembly of Dam Buster products is extremely fast and much quicker and far more cost effective than all other existing manual based methods such as Pittsburgh Seaming. With Part A always going exactly into Part B, and even the rivet holes lining up exactly in every piece, it turns the process into a simple one of assembly by staff who require only minimal training. In the end the customer also wins with ease of installation, competitive purchase cost, product quality and a real guarantee of conformance with the codes.
Dam Buster licensees are provided with all of the CAD (in SolidWorks) and any necessary initial technical support, including advice about how to maximise production from their existing equipment and methods. All of our designs and products are fully manufacturing tested so you can rely on the CAD 100%. This means you could be making money from fully licenced Dam Buster products literally from Day 1, entirely using your own existing equipment.
Don't have laser and/or specialized folding equipment? No to worry, because you can still join the Dam Buster team. In this situation, and depending on what equipment you already have and what involvement you want, there are a range of options still available. You can also directly source the laser cut blanks and/or pre folded parts through a suitable supplier of your choosing.

Intellectual Property
Please respect our Intellectual Property. We've worked very hard to develop and test our innovative products, which are also fully and comprehensively protected by comprehensive Australian and International Patents and Trade Marks. Dam Buster therefore takes a zero tolerance approach to unauthorised copies of our products being made, sold, purchased, installed or used by anybody.
Making, selling, using and/or installing Dam Buster fakes - whether you know about it or not, exposes everyone involved to the potential for substantial legal action, which almost certainly won't be covered by any standard business insurance and can also easily leave owners and directors of companies personally liable. Regulators, Building Surveyors and Forensic Plumbing experts have all adopted a clear policy of defecting Dam Buster fakes because they are poorly constructed, don't meet any of the DtS codes, don't meet the conformance requirements of the NCC and also come with no supporting technical documentation. You also can't use any of our copyrighted Dam Buster technical information or other Intellectual Property to support a fake product.
If you are a manufacturer and someone approaches you to copy our products, please get in touch with us immediately, because our simple licencing arrangement (see more information on this page) can enable you to do it easily and legally.
If you are a buyer such as a plumber or builder, make sure you avoid being left holding the baby with a fake product and having to redo the work at your own substantial cost or else being made to answer to a regulator such as the VBA. You can do that by ensuring you are buying the real deal from one of our authorised licensees, not some pile of untested rubbish which will fail any test of suitability or compliance. First off, insist on seeing National Construction Code compliant documentary EVIDENCE OF SUITABILITY from the maker; for fakes, it simply won't exist and your buying decision should end right there. If you've already purchased fakes, return them, demand your money back and never buy from that business again.
Reports of any potential infringements of our Intellectual Property are encouraged, will be immediately acted upon and may also attract a financial reward if the information is confirmed by independent investigation.
If you suspect the roof drainage products you have been offered are not genuine Dam Buster products but look like them, please contact us immediately - confidentiality is assured. All genuine Dam Buster products are traceable and carry a range of hidden security features. We can also easily confirm for you whether or not any product or seller is genuine or not.
