A history of excellence
In 1987, SLE Engineering began operating in the Northern Territory, building a 30 year legacy as local specialists in fabrication, welding, and machining.
In 2010, Steve Pope established Northtech Solutions and rapidly built a reputation for delivering innovative and high quality products and services, on time and on budget. In 2015 Northtech Solutions was awarded the Telstra Business Award ‘Small Business of the Year’ for the Northern Territory.
Today, NorthTech SLE brings together the capabilities of these two successful businesses, optimising the efficiency, expanding the resources and enhancing the services available to clients both from our workshop and on-site.
As we grow, NorthTech SLE's focus on quality, problem solving and responsiveness remains at the core of our work for clients ranging from small Territory businesses to major international companies.
