Early Beginnings (1970–1977)

KSA began in 1970 as a partnership, operating from a workshop at Glebe Island and a spare parts outlet on Parramatta Road, Stanmore. Initially focused on heavy vehicles and industrial equipment, the business grew steadily and was incorporated in 1977 as KSA Truck Parts & Repairs Pty Limited.

Expansion and Industry Leadership (1981 Onwards)

In 1981, KSA moved to larger premises on Moore Street, Leichhardt. That same year, it became Australia’s first specialised spare parts and service dealer for International Trucks, later continuing the partnership under IVECO Trucks. Over the decades, KSA earned a reputation for expertise and reliability in the transport and industrial equipment sectors.

Transition and New Direction (2025)

In June 2025, the repair division closed following the retirement of long-serving mechanic Paul, who had been with KSA for over 40 years. The following month, the business rebranded as KSA Marine & Industrial and relocated to the Sutherland Shire, under the ongoing leadership of founding director Garry Abbott.

Continuing the Legacy

Now operating from modern premises with a showroom and delivery access, KSA Marine & Industrial serves customers nationwide. A new online platform offers faster, easier spare parts access—continuing over four decades of trusted service, now focused solely on parts.
