PEOPLE FACTORIESDriven by the desire to produce something of much higher quality and performance than was available at the time, proprietor and still "hands-on" manager Xavier West approached Malibu in the USA about his ambitious dream.
A meeting with Malibu President Robert Alkema was arranged in California and shortly thereafter, an agreement was reached to build their boats in Australia.
Malibu has always been a product-driven company, not a company founded on marketing hype. It was this reasoning that appealed most to West. He wanted to build the best boats in the country, and provide water ski enthusiast with new, state of the art, modern designs that were of a much higher quality than anything else available. This has proven to be a master stroke as Malibu Boats have clearly become the most popular and desirable family tow boats in Australia today.
Most of the raw materials and componentary had to be imported from the US as the quality of materials required to build Malibu's were not available in Australia, and to some extent that remains true to this day.
Our extraordinary success and industry recognition has resulted from this devotion to simply producing superior quality boats and looking after our customers. We mean that in every sense of the word, from our precise mold construction to our engineering design excellence, every detail of every Malibu is scrutinised, supervised and approved by our devoted team of boat builders and dealer network. We don't concern ourselves with other companies - we are competitive only with ourselves, always striving to build you a higher quality, higher performace, value for money boat.
We invite you to come and see for yourself why Malibu is indeed, A Step Beyond.
