COLETEK is a founder-led Australian engineering company helping clients move from concept to prototype and toward production. We are strongest where electronics, embedded firmware, software, IoT connectivity, mechanics, and real-world constraints need to come together.
End-to-end services from early concepts and feasibility through to working prototypes, bespoke enclosure design, industrial design, and production-grade products.
Circuit schematics, PCB design, sensor integration, embedded firmware, control systems, connected devices, IoT wireless products, and cloud-connected systems.
Practical AI systems across computer vision, smart sensing, automation, and AI-enabled devices.
Robotics, precision motor control, sensor fusion, autonomy, and multidisciplinary mechatronic systems.
We are a strong fit for projects that need more than one discipline to work well together. That often includes hardware products, embedded devices, IoT connectivity, AI-enabled systems, intelligent machines, and technical prototypes that must perform outside the lab.
We can support the whole path from early technical review, research, architecture, enclosure and system design through to prototype build, testing, iteration, and production-readiness.
We also support clients earlier in the journey, including 1-day technical reviews, feasibility reviews, discovery work, and research into complex technical problems where the right next step is not yet clear.
Not every project should begin with a full build. A focused technical review can clarify risks, feasibility, architecture options, part selection, unit cost, and the most practical next step.
This is often a strong starting point for new product ideas, difficult technical problems, or projects needing independent engineering direction or peer review.
Below is a link to our YouTube channel and a rotating sample of public COLETEK work across product development, electronics, software, IoT solutions, AI-enabled devices, intelligent machines, and robotics. Refresh this page to see more randomly selected public portfolio examples. You can also visit our lab to see more in a private setting. Contact us if you would like examples more relevant to your industry, sector, or project type.
We do not try to be everything to everyone. We are best suited to technical product development, engineering discovery, and complex multidisciplinary work where the outcome needs to function in the real world.
"Great things take time. Great things evolve through talent, perseverance, iteration, and practical execution."

We have used COLETEK on a couple of occasions and found their service to be professional and on time. We specialise in engineering and design of height safety equipment and since a lot of parts are made by casting from stainless steel we require a quick model before we proceed with the tool manufacture. COLETEK has been able to provide this quickly saving us valuable time and giving us peace of mind knowing our parts will look right when casted from stainless steel.
I would like to thankyou for your time and development knowledge for assisting me in designing a new helmet for the Fire Fighting Sector. I apologise that I came to you with not much information to work with but I must admit I was very impressed with what design you came up with from your CAD drawings to achieve the final outcome. That new design is in the hands of our manufacturer over in Europe and we are hopeful that we will be able to release a new futuristic finished product for the next fire season. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to other customers who were looking to design new products.
Intuitive, innovative & efficient are three words that would appropriately describe the COLETEK service. Luke and the team at COLETEK have taken our concepts to the next level.
Great delivery, and great relationship orientated services.
Multistore Industries was in the process of developing new product for a client and needed a 3D handle printed before we went into the expense of mass production. I meet with Luke several times and he assisted with the drawings and then printed the handle. The handle was then presented to our client within 1 week and approved by the client. Thank you to Luke and his team for making this process so easy and for a client who couldn’t visualise the finished product Coletek was the perfect solution. Our company will not hesitate to use COLETEK for further projects.
From an idea in my head to making sales nationwide and now worldwide. COLETEK were there every step of the way. The product was my first development so I had no idea really. With COLETEK offering privacy agreements and steering me in the right direction, it gave me confidence instantly. One thing that may seem irrelevant they questioned me about what it was I was trying to achieve and if in fact if it's even viable? That for me showed COLETEK wasn't in it just for my money. After some meetings and a couple of CAD drawings we had our first working prototype. COLETEK's knowledge and experience definitely made this whole process a lot easier. From CAD drawings, prototypes, liaising with suppliers in Australia and overseas - COLETEK done the lot. I'd highly recommend COLETEK!
