Originally formed in 1984 as Shade Structures Pacific, MakMax pioneered the tensile membrane industry in Australia and rose to prominence through its innovative shade structures for the 1988 World Expo in Brisbane.

In January 2001, Shade Structures Pacific became a member of the Taiyo Kogyo group of companies. Formed in 1947 in Japan, Taiyo Kogyo, is the largest membrane company in the world and has a global reputation for technical innovation.

We still maintain our strong local expertise, and today, MakMax Australia is the market leader in the design, engineering, fabrication and installation of custom fabric structures for a variety of applications. We create unique award winning tensile membrane structures in Australia, the Pacific and South East Asia.
