Toowoomba factory to deliver storage silos around the world
generation Australian-owned and operated business, which will double its workforce in the region.
Construction will provide employment for more than 850 people over the next year.
The facility will be a remarkable engineering feat with the structure more than 21 metres high.
Kotzur managing director, Andrew Kotzur, said Toowoomba was a key growth area for the business which designs, builds and installs major storage solutions like silos for agriculture and mining projects.
The new facility will replace two existing factories and quadruple the current space and double the local workforce.
Mr Kotzur said the new site’s proximity to the Warrego Highway, the Toowoomba by-pass, and the upcoming inland rail link were attractive elements for the new site.
Team leader, Sean Lees, said Hutchies was excited by the challenge.
“It is a massive job from the amount of excavation to the size of the building for final assembly of silos all of which will be comparable to a multi-level residential building,” said Sean.
