ABOUT US
Founded in 2011 on the Gold Coast, Unidan Engineering has grown into Australia’s premier Unimog specialist. While our roots lie in founder Daniel Mavin’s decades of off-road engineering experience, Unidan is now backed by a team of nearly 30 skilled professionals. From mechanics and fabricators to design, marketing, and sales experts, we are united by a shared passion for innovation in off-road and commercial vehicle solutions.
As an official dealer for the Mercedes-Benz Unimog Centre since 2019, we continue to set the benchmark for custom Unimog builds. Operating from our state-of-the-art 4,000m² Yatala facility, we have expanded our capabilities to deliver high-quality production, investing in cutting-edge machinery and optimising processes to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Our advanced in-house equipment—including 5-axis machining, laser cutting, robotic welding, and 3D scanning—ensures precision manufacturing for both expedition and commercial vehicles.
Beyond complete vehicle builds, we also manufacture a range of high-quality parts to customise vehicles to suit specific needs, ensuring peak performance, reliability, and functionality in the most demanding conditions. Additionally, we offer comprehensive service and maintenance solutions to keep your vehicles operating at their best, no matter the environment.
