About company

Schaffer Corporation Limited – originally named Calsil Pty Ltd – was incorporated in April 1955 by Mr George Schaffer AM and a group of enthusiastic shareholders and supporters including Mr Albert Jobling. Calsil’s primary business was the production and sale of a new building material for Western Australia, sand-lime bricks. With incredible determination, energy and a “never say die” attitude, George Schaffer AM, together with his two children, Danielle Blain and John Schaffer, built and grew the company. George Schaffer AM retired from an executive role in 1987, however remained as Chairman until his passing in 1988. The company was subsequently renamed Schaffer Corporation Limited, in honour of its founder.
