Episode 147 - Building an Australian made equipment brand to support Australian restaurants with Ao Luu from Luus Equipment

This episode's guest is from Luus Commercial Catering Equipment, which is a wholly Australian made and owned family business based in Sunshine West in Victoria and has been designing and manufacturing cooking equipment for approximately 23 years.

The business began when Don Luu, the second eldest of 6 siblings built a cooker for a local Buddhist temple in their family garage. Now, Luus employs over 50 people at their purpose-built facility in Melbourne’s West and supply specialised Asian and Professional cooking equipment to dealers across Australia so it’s great to catch up with one of the family members and CEO of Luus Equipment, Ao Luu.

In this podcast, we talk about why the business started and the differences in a family business, the meaning of 'lean manufacturing and how it can assist your business, and the use of symbols and having people are the forefront of what they do as a manufacturing brand. You will learn a lot from this podcast with a great industry leader.
