About us
MT Crates has been a proudly family-run business since the mid-1950s. While our name has evolved over the decades, our commitment to quality craftsmanship, customer service, and reliable timber packaging solutions has never changed.
From our humble beginnings building crates from recycled fridge boxes at the old Perth Metropolitan Markets, we’ve grown into one of Western Australia’s most trusted timber packaging specialists. Today, our product range includes fully enclosed cases, custom crates, pallets and skids, spools and hubs, timber, packaging materials, and onsite and delivery services. We always recommend the safest and most cost-effective method and can package using cardboard, plywood, pine, or hardwood to suit your needs.
At MT Crates, we take pride in being approachable, responsive, and honest. Our customers know us for our prompt service, competitive pricing, and practical advice, values that have been the backbone of our business for more than 70 years.
Our Story
The MT Crates story began in the early 1950s when Hungarian immigrant Frank Bosnyak Snr saw an opportunity to improve the quality of timber crates used at the Perth Metropolitan Markets. His skill and dedication led to the creation of Morley Park Box & Case Factory in 1954, which supplied durable timber boxes and crates to businesses across Western Australia and beyond.
Frank Bosnyak Senior at work
Frank’s entrepreneurial spirit carried on through his son, Frank Bosnyak Jnr, who founded Morley Cavalier in 1988. Under the stewardship of Frank and his wife Christine, the business continued to grow and became a fixture in Maddington’s industrial community.
In 2013, Tony and Leonie Cecich took the reins, bringing renewed energy and a customer-first approach. They rebranded the business as MT Crates, expanded operations, and relocated to larger premises on Kelvin Road in 2019 to meet increasing demand.
