MakMax Australia was formed in 1984 in Australia under the name Shade Structures Pacific and originally raised to prominence through its innovative shade structures for the 1988 World Expo in Brisbane. The company joined the Taiyo Kogyo Group after it joined with USA Company Birdair Inc in 2001 and became Shade Structures Birdair (Birdair is a subsidiary of Taiyo Kogyo).
As part of a global group streamlining in 2003 Taiyo Kogyo redefined responsibilities of its companies. As a result, ownership of Shade Structures Birdair was transferred to Taiyo Kogyo Corporation and the company was changed to Taiyo Membrane Corporation. In 2007 Taiyo Membrane Corporation changed their Australian trading name to MakMax Australia whilst still trading under Taiyo Membrane Corporation internationally. MakMax Australia is responsible for the Australian, Pacific and Indian regions.
MakMax Australia's services are offered through offices in Brisbane, Sydney and New Delhi with representatives throughout Australia and the world.
