About Us
Malmbu provides the Resource and Government sectors the option and ability to work with an Indigenous company that specializes in the provision of fire protection systems, including design & construction, supply, installation, and maintenance.
In addition to specializing in fire services, we also offer plumbing and gasfitting services such as polywelding, water and drainage. We service the metro and regional areas of Western Australia, as well as interstate throughout other parts of Australia where possible.
While our focus areas are the Government & Resource sectors, we also conduct work on behalf of the private sector.
