West Gosford based business, Melomotive, which specialises in the manufacturing of Australian-made coatings designed specifically for automotive restoration, has received funding from the Federal Labor Government’s Energy Efficiency Grants for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises Program.
Melomotive has received $25,000 which it has used to install energy efficient LED lighting in its warehouse.

Quotes attributable to Melomotive Director, Mr Peter Lamb:
“We are the founders and owners of an Australian made line of coatings designed specifically for automotive restoration. This dedicated line for automotive restorers has not existed in Australia before.

“We regularly host training classes to upskill the industry.
“We recently began exporting to New Zealand and in early discussions with US distributors to establish warehousing for export.
“One of the key objectives for 2025 is expansion to the US market, as the demand for our products is significant due to the US “car culture.
