Kaeser breaks ground on state-of-the-art new Melbourne facility

Kaeser’s Australian head office has been situated in Dandenong, Victoria, since Kaeser Compressors opened its doors in 1990. After 30 years it became clear that the company was outgrowing the existing facility, and required additional office space, a larger warehouse and a bigger in-house workshop.

A complete transformation of the current facility is now underway, which will both modernise and extend it out to twice its current size. After a number of COVID-19 setbacks, the transformation is well underway and expected to be completed by early 2022.

Peter Eckberg, Managing Director of Kaeser Compressors Australia, said: “Construction of our new head office facility should have commenced in 2020. Unfortunately, COVID-19 had other plans! While the pandemic may have slowed down proceedings it has not stopped the company’s reinvestment plans. Kaeser Compressors has always reinvested heavily into the business and the current pandemic has not halted those efforts. We’re pleased to say that despite ongoing COVID-19 disruptions, we finally broke ground in January.”
