- You hear it a lot, but what does it really mean to be Australian-made? Since the beginning, we have remained steadfast in our support of Australian manufacturing, trades and jobs, championing local innovation for the next generation.
To celebrate Australian Made Week, we sat down with our Founder, Tin Hua, to take a look behind the scenes at our origins and what it's like to manufacture gear right here in Brisbane.

Good on you mate - my 150 Prado has Kaon products all over it and they are absolutely brilliant. LOVE your work.
Thanks so much for your ongoing support! Comments like this mean the world to our team.
Great video Tin 👍 nice to hear how your business has evolved & your family background. I have a lot of Kaon products on my FJ Cruiser and all the products have enhanced the enjoyment of my extensive travels. The products have always performed flawlessly. Well done for creating such a great Aussie business.
Thank you, Gary. Tin reads most of our comments and reviews, and I'm sure he'd be humbled to know we've helped make your travels better so you can get out and explore- his mission when he founded KAON.
Great story from a great creator. I was impressed with the company when I bought my first bit of KAON gear for my Prado and got an incite into the product development when you use my car for measuring and testing fitting of the overhead shelve. Moving along I am in a 300 series and the most desired accessory for the car was a KAON overhead shelve. I look forward to see what else you release for that car. Congratulations on the growth and next step on the KAON journey.
Thanks Russell, appreciate your ongoing support and glad we've been able to help kit out a couple of your vehicles over the years. ☺
Well Done Kaon!!! Your Australian made products are second to none!
Thank you Martin! Means a lot to us.
Awesome background video, well-done to you and your family. You should all be very proud of your achievements, not only supplying Australia but the world! With top class products. Pride and success is what I see in your products, keep up the good work Tin & family. Thanks from a very happy customer in New Zealand :)
Thank you Michael! Your kind words mean a lot to our family and team. Thanks for your ongoing support - we're glad to be a part of your travels. :)
Awesome story Tin, by far some of the best quality products produced in Australia, I love that you are keeping them locally made, its great support for the economy and the people invlolved. Time to start a workshop in WA 😜
Thank you, you've been a wonderful support to us over the years and we genuinely appreciate it. ☺
@@KAONaust its very easy to support such amazing products! I really appreciate all that you guys do for the 4x4 industry.
What a beautiful story and video - brought a tear to my eye! I love KAON products, they are quality you can be rely on and being Australian made, by such a terrific family business, makes them even more wonderful! By the time I've installed my last and largest order (UVP+a few other items) I'll have over $3k worth installed on my Prado (thanks to Anthony - Fourby4Diesel who got me started) and I've already decided on items for my next order! Thanks for the great work KAON!
Thanks so much for all your support Steve, it's an honour to be able to help you kit your Prado out so thoroughly, and heartfelt comments like yours mean a lot to our team.
Anthony is a legend isn't he! :)
Thanks for Sharing Tin. This is Awesome!
I have only recently started using your products as I brought my first ever 4wd last year (my little project - 2004 Prado 120 V6 with 150 000kms on it), and your stuff is absolutely top notch good quality gear that has transformed my adventure experiences.
Awesome to hear your story and please keep doing what your doing! I will be buying a lot more gear off you over the next few years im sure of it!
Jack
Thanks Jack, we're glad you enjoyed it! Congrats on your Prado purchase - no doubt at all it'll see you on many fantastic adventures, and we're glad a few pieces of our gear will join you for the ride.
The quality of the people at Kaon shine thru in the quality of their products!!
Love Kaon!
Thanks for the kind words Brian!
Good on you guys. Well done. I love the idea you have around people and not just revenue. That’s the Aussie spirit. 💯🇦🇺
We couldn't agree more. ☺
Great stuff Tin. Always proud to see fellow Vietnamese Australians making a difference. Will definitely drop by on my next trip to QLD, to say hi, & add more gear to my already extensive list of Kaon products on the Prado 150 😛
Thank you!
Awesome story Tin.!
Love your Kaon gear and I’m so proud to support a local Australian Business..
my 120 Prado is covered in kaon gear 😂
quality work mate 👌🏼
Thanks for your support Ben!
Thanks for sharing the background story to Kaon and your family history 👍
Also thank you very much for manufacturing all you products in OZ.
I loved all your gear I had of yours in my old JB74W, I’m planning to order a number of products from you all for my new 2023 Troopy 78 in the coming month.
Good to see I can still buy some of your earlier business products from a number of great Trials shops.
Did you name that product after your initials?
PS: it’s always great to see an apprentice start to shine and take pride in their workmanship.
👍
Thanks for the kind words, and all your support! It's a great privilege for us to be able to help you kit out both your Jimny and Troopy! Enjoy the 78, what a change.
If it's our brand name you mean, Tin and his wife Linda, named KAON loosely from their kids initials. ☺
Hi @@KAONaust no I meant TNN bicycle Trials brake pads etc.
I’ll be in touch later next month to order a good number of Troopy parts from yourselves.
Nice story and hope you continue to develop new Prado items for the existing model as well as the next one coming soon
Good onya mate. It's great to see an Aussie business making products locally do well. I love my KAON roof shelf and cargo barrier combo on my 80 Series. I've had it for 4 years now and still one of the best mods I've done on my rig - worth every cent. Only request, make more gear for the 80 Series. There are still plenty of 80s around. 😁👍
Thanks for the kind words! Don't worry, we're not done with the 80 yet - there's always more ideas we'd love to bring to market for it.
@@KAONaust Some ideas for the 80...Gullwing windows with inner molle panels for the rear side windows (check out the Yodatech Gullwing); A table bracket to fit under the rear roof shelf so I can slide a light Lifetime 1m table there from Bunnings; Your beautifully engineered rated recovery hooks; 2nd row seat roof shelf (w/adjustable height). I'm sure your creative team can come up with more. 😁
Fantastic video! As someone who already loved the products, knowing the story behind them makes it even more special 🎉
Thanks James, couldn't do it without your support!
Congratulations. I love a good Aussie battler success story. Great products too. Well done!
Thank you! :)
Great work KAON
Thank you!
I own your travel Buddy trays etc.
Great product.
Plus it’s good to use Australian.
That’s why I own a Travel Buddy plus your trays.
Your quality is awesome 👍
Thank you Stephen! Always wonderful to hear :)
Love your products, and more importantly your company ethos!
Thank you for your support! Always wonderful to hear from likeminded people :)
Great video legend
Thanks for everything over the years, it means a lot to have people in the community supporting us.
