Keeping Australia moving

To maximise efficiency and keep local industries running, there are many reasons why businesses need to use products made in Australia.

Supply chain issues that dramatically occurred during the COVID pandemic have left their mark on many businesses and are a reminder of issues around Australia’s supply independence.

The need for Australia to develop its own capabilities has also been amplified by rapidly changing global trade and geopolitical scenarios.

Industries rely on a dependable supply of goods and services for budgetary planning and development of their growth.

In particular, the transport, construction and mining sectors rely on round-the-clock reliability of specialised vehicles to keep critical transport and infrastructure projects on schedule.

The importance of Australia’s sovereign capabilities is well understood by tyre specialists OTR - Tyres Wheels Axles.

Its product manager and business development manager Greg Lowe said not only does the company design and manufacture wheels for the agricultural, construction and mining industries, it also provides complete in-house wheel and rim inspection, repair and certification services.

"The 2022 acquisition by OTR of Titan Australia's operations made it the leading force in tyre, wheel and axle sales and manufacturing for the mining, construction and agricultural sectors, which has established an end-to-end capability designed to keep vehicles moving and contributing to business profitability,” he said.
