Frequently Asked Questions
The Mosdorfer name originates from a small town in Austria called Weiz. The town’s records show that in 1712 the Mosdorfer company operated a forge in Weiz to make swords, sickles and knives. As it happens, the company headquarters is still operating on the same site, and still makes forged products there, but now the specialty is in powerline fittings.
Graph Solutions Pty Ltd was founded in Melbourne in 2001 as a specialist supplier of Insulators and Powerline hardware products. After promoting Mosdorfer products for a number of years, the Graph Solutions business was bought by Mosdorfer’s parent company, and so on 1st July 2018 the new entity Mosdorfer Graph was born.
Mosdorfer Graph specialises in overhead line equipment, which means we can work with you all the way from design to installation.

Both. To support utility period-contracts and day-to-day sales we hold stock in 3rd party warehouses in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. This gives us the ability to deliver on a next-day basis most of the time. When an item is not held locally we import to order and use our longstanding relationships with manufacturers and logistics specialists to provide timely and cost-effective supply.
