Default Are pedders springs made by kings?

Random question, we are having a discussion on Facebook, and just wondering anyone knows this to be true or not?

One person is saying pedders stuff is made at kings factory in qld, other disagree.


Anyone know for sure?

Yeah we saw that, but like the supermarkets saying their bread is baked fresh in store daily when it actually comes from halfway around the world and is made months earlier, you can't always believe what they say.

This is also from Pedders website.............

We offer rear leaf springs, parabolic springs, coil springs, King Springs suspension, and torsion bars for all types of vehicles, such as Toyota HiLux and other heavy duty utility cars.

I would imagine Pedders stores being franchise owned it would be up to the owners how they source, supply & sell their products, probably stock both brands.

^^ This! Pedders springs are made in Victoria, Australia.
Franchisee's / authorised dealers sell Pedders branded products.
I'm yet to sell Kings to a customer.

Just to be clear, the discussion wasn't about pedders selling kings branded springs, it's whether or not pedders use kings to make their springs.

Basically one guy has a mate (there's always a mate lol) who works up here at kings, but claims all he ever made was pedders branded springs there.
