Introduction
Despite on-going COVID-19 disruptions, I am pleased to inform you that construction of our new state-of-the-art head office facility in Melbourne finally began in January. This will see a complete transformation of our current facility, both modernising and extending it out to twice its current size. We have created a special webpage where you can see progress updates. Just visit au.kaeser.com As we all continue to navigate our way through the COVID-19 pandemic, embracing Industrie 4.0 technologies has never been so important or timely. Turn to page 8, where we discuss how the latest Industrie 4.0-ready compressed air technology from KAESER, could assist you in optimising the availability, reliability and efficiency of your compressed air system through the current pandemic and beyond.

Compressed air contracting may be just the answer you’re looking for! On page 14 you’ll find one of our recent blog posts from our blog ‘KAESER Know How’ which looks at this topic in more detail.
