OUR HISTORY
OVERVIEW
Founded in 1972, Berg has grown from a one car garage operation in Bulimba on the Brisbane River to a multi-million dollar facility, passed on from father to son. We have built a reputation for excellence on the back of two generations of family passion.
A passion, that our team share.
Our team is family; we know their kids, their parents, their personal legacies. What’s more, we all work together. We believe a family will nurture its own and create success, which is why we are proud to boast of so many brothers and sisters, fathers and sons, uncles, nephews and nieces all working together at Berg.
We care, and because we do, you are getting the very best from us.
