Kobelco equipment has helped reinforce a Brisbane company’s journey from a plumbing business to an earthmoving specialist.
-
APS Earthmoving, a Brisbane-based company offering a wide range of services including plumbing, excavation, and demolition, has established a solid reputation in the industry.
Founded by Adrian Sciarretta and Paul Serra, the business started out as a plumbing company about a decade ago and has since grown into a significant player in the earthmoving industry.
"We got into the industry about 11 years ago," Adrian said.
"Initially, we were a plumbing company, but we decided to invest in our own machinery.
That's how our journey into earthmoving began." From those humble beginnings, the company has expanded considerably.
What began as a few machines doing general hire has grown into a company with 75 plumbers and 15 operators on the earthmoving side.
APS Earthmoving now offers services that span from the Sunshine Coast to the Gold Coast, with a strong presence in Brisbane.
One of the pivotal moments in APS Earthmoving's journey was meeting Tim, their first Kobelco sales representative at BrisVegas Machinery over 10 years ago.
