Atlas Copco logo

Atlas Copco develops, manufactures and markets portable and industrial air compressors, generators, specially built gas and process compressors, expansion turbines and pumps. Supplementary products are air dryers, after coolers, control systems and filters. Atlas Copco equipment is selected where efficiency, reliability, durability and value are the key selection criteria.

Portable diesel powered compressors are a power source for machines and tools used mainly within the building and construction sector, but also in other industries. Electric drive stationary compressors have found a place in most manufacturing industries, no matter what the product, as well as public utilities, environmental control and mining. Clean, dry air is of crucial importance in i.e. the sensitive pharmaceutical and electronics industries. To meet the increasing demand for quality air, Atlas Copco offers drying equipment and filters as an integrated part of the compressor package. Gas and process compressors and expansion turbines are delivered to process industries, such as the chemical, oil and gas industries, as well as to companies specializing in the separation of air and other gases.

If you want more information about about compressors, drying equipment and filters, go to the homepage of Atlas Copco Compressor Technique.

Atlas Copco Compressors Australia are proud to be associated with the James Craig restoration and has supplied the air compressors to power the pneumatic tools and other compressed air driven equipment.

Driza-bone logo

Since 1898 the DRIZA-BONE oilskin coat has been part of Australia's history. Now it's a way of life, some even say state of mind. For over 100 years the ever-practical Driza-Bone surfaces each year in the wet, worn by man, woman and child alike.

Today, Driza-Bone has evolved from being solely an oilskin workcoat, to an internationally recognised brand that encompasses a wide range of coats, jackets, vests, hats and leathergoods used for both active and leisure outdoor activities.

The range not only reflects the heritage of Driza-Bone but also adds a smart, modern, look to this Australian icon, and they're still made in Australia.

In 1997 Driza-Bone was appointed official licensee of Sydney's 2000 Olympic Games for coats, jackets and woollen sweaters and Olympic Director of Ceremonies, Mr Ric Birch, insisted on using Driza-Bone coats in the opening and closing ceremonies and asked Driza-Bone for help.

Throughout the Sydney 2000 Olympics, white Driza-Bone coats were worn by all the medal bearers, flag bearers and flower bearers resulting in widespread publicity and general acclaim which has led to development of an expanded range of styles and colours. Driza-Bone has also been appointed official licensee for the Centenary of Federation.

By aligning itself with other Australian icons, Driza-Bone has gained significant exposure. Company sponsorships have included the Man from Snowy River Centenary, the Stockman's Hall of Fame, Australian Rugby Union, the Bark Endeavour and many, many others too numerous to mention.

Driza-Bone is proud to be associated with the wonderfully restored 19th-Century barque James Craig and has provided a full set of oilskins for the officers and crew.

Transfield logo

Infrastructure, power, process, urban renewal, defence; in all these areas, Transfield is a powerful and innovative force.

As a developer, owner, operator and provider of engineering, construction,equipment and maintenance services across Australia and New Zealand and throughought Asia, Transfield is an instrument of dynamic and beneficial change.

But Transfield is also people: almost six thousand of them, generating an annual turnover of A$1,4 billion*.

To all of these people, on every level, the ultimate focus is on better serving the clients' needs. Understanding that this also reflects the clients' priorities (delivering better service to their customers) is vital in creating relationships that really work.

Transfield is a regional leader in the development of private infrastructure having completed or commenced build, own and operate projects throughout the region worth over A$4 billion.

And with operations and maintenance contracts already extending to the year 2030, there are very few organisations better positioned to cope with the changes of the 21st century,

But there's still much more to Transfield than these hard facts.

A demand for business excellence and commitment to clients are vital, of course. And perhaps most important of all, awareness of real community needs.
