Delivering durable, custom-made fabric products with precision, reliability, and quality for diverse global applications.
Established in 1959 by Geoff Sutherland after working with the late G.V. Mulder in Caulfield. G.C. Sutherland Canvas Goods is a supplier of tarpaulins and canvas products involved in major projects including the rebuild of Darwin after Cyclone Tracy.
Since 1959, G.C. Sutherland has been manufacturing quality canvas and synthetic fabric products in Moorabbin, Victoria. Founded by Geoff Sutherland, we’ve grown into a trusted name in custom tarpaulin and PVC solutions. Our materials are sourced from leading Australian and European suppliers, ensuring superior performance and durability. Known for precision workmanship and reliable service, we continue to meet the needs of both commercial and industrial clients across the country and beyond.
We’ve proudly supported major projects, including supplying tarpaulins for Darwin’s rebuild after Cyclone Tracy. Our products are used by Australian defence forces, oil exploration firms, and transport operators. With a strong focus on quality and customisation, we deliver practical solutions for diverse applications—from truck covers and industrial partitions to shade sails and membrane structures. We also offer tarpaulin hire for short-term needs, giving clients a more flexible and cost-effective option.
G.C. Sutherland exports to China, Papua New Guinea, Pago Pago, Dubai, and other global markets. Our extensive product range includes specialised fabric lines such as Soltis, Precontraint, and Stam—each suited for specific applications like awnings, canopies, or inflatable partitions. Whether you need a one-off custom solution or ongoing supply, we’re committed to delivering high-quality, purpose-built fabric products that perform under pressure and in all conditions.
