Sales and Service

Westpac Marine specializes in life safety equipment. While our primary focus is on the marine market, many of the items we supply are used in shore based applications. We were founded in 1984 and have been a distributor for companies such as Mine Safety Appliances and Switlik for most of the time we have been in business. You can rely on our expertise and the fact that if we do not know the answer, we will tell you so.
