Two Hunter based industry leaders have joined forces to create a one-stop shop for managing resources across mining, transport, and defence industries.
Banlaw Managing Director, Bill Clifton said the two businesses, Banlaw and R & R Murphy, are complementary, providing the expertise in each business that had previously been missing when they were standalone entities.
“Banlaw brings engineering and electrical capability to Murphy. While Murphy brings high quality fabrication capability to Banlaw,” Bill said.
“It’s a really exciting time for both businesses, especially on the back of the global audience that one of Murphy’s partner projects, LAVO, received at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow last month.”
LAVO is at the forefront of hydrogen technology and were featured in the Australian Government’s pavilion at COP 26.
“This interest, combined with the creation of a world-leading hub for hydrogen use, export, and expertise right here in the Hunter, has the merged companies perfectly positioned to be leaders in this field.”
R&R Murphy General Manager, Mick Way says the synergies that Banlaw and R & R Murphy have will ensure the family legacy of the business will be enhanced.
“We are definitely stronger together and look forward to combining and expanding our industrial customer base across mining, heavy haul rail, defence, and transport industries as well as taking on larger and more substantive projects both locally and globally.”
Banlaw are a Hunter based original equipment manufacturer empowering industrial customers globally with fluid resource management solutions.
Both businesses are headquartered in Lake Macquarie, NSW.
