Stoddart is the official provider of custom metal fabrication throughout SCUH. The Queensland-based company is powered by more than 450 trained professionals, including commercial kitchen equipment fabricators, custom metal fabricators, stainless steel fabrication specialists and brand distributors.

These units are amongst the sophisticated kitchen facilities specified for the hospital to ensure the smooth flow of activities in the hospital on a day-to-day basis.
