ITR snaps up Aus Final Drives

 

Aus Final Drives, renowned for its specialised expertise in providing aftermarket final drive solutions to the Australian earthmoving and construction industry, has been acquired by industry leader ITR Pacific.


The takeover marks a significant milestone in ITR Pacific’s expansion strategy, positioning it to deliver an even broader array of services and enhanced expertise in the critical area of final drives.

Aus Final Drives, founded by experienced engineer Shaun Morton-Jones, saw accelerated growth over the years due to its innovative approach to providing cost-effective, high-quality aftermarket final drive solutions.

Shaun’s initiative began when he faced the challenge of high costs and limited availability of final drives in Australia, prompting him to seek more affordable alternatives.

Through collaborative efforts with like-minded engineers, he spent two years exploring international manufacturers and testing their final drives to ensure reliability and performance.

This thorough approach, which included accelerated lifetime testing to identify the highest Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), laid the foundation for Aus Final Drives’ reputation for quality and reliability.

By 2018, the company’s ability to deliver high-quality, affordable final drive solutions had spread widely through word- of-mouth, resulting in a significant uptick in demand.

Officially rebranded in January 2021, it quickly became a leading supplier of aftermarket final drive solutions across Australia.

Known for its engineering prowess, problem- solving skills, and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction, Aus Final Drives filled a crucial gap in the market, often being the go-to option when other suppliers were unable to meet customer needs.

Over the past nine years, the business has built a strong reputation for its extensive range of complete final drive assemblies for most makes and models up to 50 tonnes and being able to provide a cost-effective solution when no one else can.

Additionally, Aus Final Drives has gained recognition for its expert advice and timely support, assisting customers in selecting the right parts and resolving issues with efficiency.

There is a full range of stock available at all seven ITR Pacific branches.

The acquisition by ITR Pacific not only complements but also amplifies this successful business model.

By integrating Aus Final Drives into its operations, ITR Pacific enhances its market presence and service capabilities.

Customers will now benefit from the expanded reach of ITR Pacific’s network, which includes branches and warehouses in Brisbane, Mackay, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, and Kalgoorlie.

This expanded geographical footprint allows for same-day pickup options across major hubs, greatly increasing convenience for customers.

ITR Pacific’s move represents a strategic alignment of strengths, with the combined resources and expertise poised to meet the growing demands of the Australian earthmoving sector.

This integration not only broadens the product offerings but also provides a one- stop solution for all earthmoving machinery up to 190 tonnes.

The enhanced capabilities will deliver increased value to customers, streamlining their access to quality cost-effective final drive solutions and comprehensive support.
