MINING
New Facilities Liebherr-Australia recently invested over $ 170 million to complete new support facilities in Sydney and Newman Western Australia . Existing properties in Mackay , Mt . Thorley , and Perth were expanded to accommodate the company ’ s goal of continuing to meet our customer needs .
The crowning jewel of the company ’ s expansion efforts is the remanufacturing facility in Adelaide . Construction started in January of 2013 and was completed in August of this year to a cost of around $ 80 million . The facility will be hiring around 138 new employees over the next year and a half out of the South Australian job market .
“ The rebuild centre focusses on all of our major components for our mining operations in Australia and New Zealand ,” said Pichanick . “ All of the spare parts and components from the machinery will be sent back to Adelaide for remanufacture and then go back into the distribution outlets around Australia . Our business had a very decentralised model previously ; however we are now consolidating everything under the one roof . The disassembly area includes a wash-bay , shot-blast ,
