Griptech Industries, Australia’s new specialist in handmade sway bars, made an electrifying debut at Summernats 2025 in Canberra. Exhibiting in the Rare Spares Pavilion, we officially showcased our brand and product lines to an enthusiastic crowd of car builders, streetcar enthusiasts, and racers.
A Passion for Automotive Excellence
Founded in early 2024, Griptech Industries is the result of a shared vision between longtime friends Doug Seaton and Chris Milne. The brand builds on the manufacturing expertise of Doug’s previous business, Seaton Suspension, and focuses entirely on the development, manufacturing, and distribution of handmade sway bars and accessories. Starting with our “Cruise-It” and “Race-It” ranges, we aim to deliver suspension solutions for custom cars, streetcars, and race cars.
Summernats: A Perfect Launchpad
Summernats, a cornerstone event for Australia’s car enthusiast community, provided the ideal stage for Griptech’s debut. The “Cruise-It” and “Race-It” sway bar ranges perfectly matched the event’s vibrant atmosphere, drawing attention from showgoers passionate about enhancing their vehicles.
The response to our brand and products was phenomenal. From street machines to high-performance racers, we received countless queries from attendees eager to learn how Griptech sway bars could elevate their builds. As car enthusiasts ourselves, we loved connecting with attendees, sharing stories, and getting excited about their projects. The Rare Spares Pavilion’s dynamic energy further underscored our commitment to quality and innovation.
