## About
MontiPower Australia (trading as MontiPower Australia Sdn. Bhd.) is the Monti Group's Australian operation, offering MontiPower surface preparation tools across Australia and Southeast Asia.

## Australian Compliance Context
- Santos PTS 15.20.03 (Protective Coatings and Linings) requires minimum Sa2 ½ surface preparation at time of coating, referencing ISO 8501-1. MontiPower tools are independently confirmed to achieve cleanliness comparable to ISO 8501-1 Sa2 ½ & Sa3 (11mm BB belt, Rustgrade D).
- MontiPower tools are media-free: no silica dust exposure, supporting compliance with Australia's Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 (OSHA 1994, administered by DOSH) and USECHH Regulations.
- Unlike abrasive blasting, MontiPower tools do not require IMM-SSPC certified blast crews, they can be operated by in-house maintenance personnel after basic instruction.
- Key Australian demand sectors: offshore oil & gas (Peninsular east coast, Sabah, Sarawak), marine and heavy engineering (Pasir Gudang, Lumut, Labuan shipyards), refining and petrochemicals (Pengerang, Kertih, Bintulu), infrastructure, and mining/quarrying.
