Construction materials company, Boral, is poised for future growth following its latest investment in Victoria.
Boral has acquired a Wallan Concrete plant in Victoria approximately 45 kilometres north of Melbourne which will reportedly provide the company with strategic capability to service customers in an identified growth corridor.
This acquisition also sees the continued employment of skilled workers as they transfer to Boral.
As part of this transfer, the employees at Wallan Concrete were welcomed to the Boral team with a range of activities, including a welcome lunch and a visit from various Boral executives.
According to Boral Executive General Manager – Concrete & Quarries South, Matt McKenzie, the acquisition complements Boral’s existing concrete batching plant and quarry at Wollert.
“We know the long-term growth projection in Melbourne, particularly to the north, is strong, and Wallan Concrete’s proximity to the market, adjacent to the Hume Freeway, makes it well-positioned to service existing and future customers,” he said.
“The plant is practically brand new and we’re very excited to have this great asset now part of our integrated operations and its potential to supply key projects in the Melbourne North region.
“What is also important is that we are today welcoming new employees to the Boral team.”
The Wallan Concrete facility, which operates six days a week on freehold land, features a dry batch concrete plant, four cementitious silos, 10 raw material ground bins, a modern office with driver facilities and undercover truck parking.
