Hagan Machinery Pty Ltd was founded by Raye Hagan in 1965, located in Dent Street, Toowoomba (presently DRTV Service). Shortly after, Hagan Machinery built the existing workshop and relocated to the present site at the corner of Mort and Thackeray Streets, Toowoomba.

 

Before starting his own business Raye served his apprenticeship at Larges Foundry, then worked at Walsh Engineering and Darling Downs Bacon, all located in Toowoomba.

 

After serving his apprenticeship as a first class machinist at the Toowoomba Foundry, Gavin Hagan commenced work in 1981 and became a director of Hagan Machinery before taking over the business in 1990 on Raye's retirement. Raye continues to be employed on a part time basis as a consultant. Hagan Machinery is now owned and operated by Gavin and Leanne Hagan.
