Haulotte staff and guests celebrate the opening

Haulotte Australia recently inaugurated its new premises on the southeast side of Melbourne, Victoria. The new modern facility follows increased demand for Haulotte machines in Australia and New Zealand. It provides more than 11,000 sqm of work space for its 50 employees.

The new subsidiary is three times the size of the old facility and holds a broad selection of Haulotte mobile elevating work platforms and telehandlers to quickly respond to customers' critical business requirements.

The extra space will allow Haulotte Australia to grow its business and improve its service offering, according to the company. The large parts department will speed up delivery times, increasing the subsidiary's efficiency and allowing for future growth in its parts holding. The building also includes training facilities to enhance customers' skills and promote the safe use of its equipment.

"This inauguration marks a new chapter and emphasises our commitment and confidence in the Australian powered access market," said Alexandre Saubot, CEO of Haulotte Group, at the ribbon-cutting.

"We cannot be happier: the new facility will allow us to better cater to our customers' logistical needs," adds Keith Clarke, general manager of the Australian subsidiary.
