ThyssenKrupp in
Australia
The
first supplies of the ThyssenKrupp organisation to Australia date back to the
1860s, when rails, wheels and axles were delivered to the railway
companies of Victoria and New South Wales.
In
1951, ThyssenKrupp supplied the first bucket-wheel excavator to a lignite mine in
Victoria, and is today the original equipment manufacturer for all of
the bucket wheel excavators operating in the Victorian mines of Yallourn,
Morwell and Loy Yang.
Krupp
is also a leading supplier of equipment and services for both the
materials handling and mineral processing industries.
ThyssenKrupp's
first permanent representative office was established in 1888. In
1965, Krupp (Australia) Pty. Ltd. was incorporated in NSW, as a sales
company for Australia. Since this time, ThyssenKrupp Engineering
(Australia) has developed its local capability and is today able to
provide a complete range of services including design, project management,
procurement, site erection, commissioning, training, operating and
maintenance manuals, and after sales and services.
