With an annual output of $42.6 billion, Newcastle is a regional powerhouse with resources and manufacturing driving the local industry.
It thus made sound business sense for SEW Eurodrive to construct a Heavy Industrial Gears Service and Repair Centre in Tomago which is scheduled to open in the second half of 2023. Situated 16km from Newcastle Port, the new facility will serve a range of sectors including manufacturing, resources, bulk materials handling and large conveyor systems used for shipping and export.
Built with an investment of $8 million, SEW-Eurodrive’s new 2700m squared purpose-built state of the art facility will primarily service and repair SEW Eurodrive’s and other original manufacturer’s heavy industrial gear units.
The expansive 2400m squared of service-dedicated floor space will house specialised and bespoke disassembly and assembly equipment including a wash bay, high capacity lifting cranes and a painting line. The facility is also supported by a tailor-made load test cell. The remaining 300m squared is dedicated to office space for engineering and support staff.
