Wurth Australia has joined Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA) as a Principal Partner, aligning its reputation for exceptional service and quality with Australia’s peak industry association representing manufacturers and suppliers of trucks, trailers, components, equipment and technology.
The announcement of the new partnership was made at last week’s HVIA Annual General Meeting, hosted by Wurth Australia at its new headquarters in Dandenong South, Melbourne.
HVIA Chief Executive Todd Hacking welcomed the partnership with the renowned international assembly and fastening materials supplier.
“Wurth is an incredibly impressive company with a great history in supporting Australian heavy vehicle and automotive manufacturing,” Hacking says.
“We are delighted to have Wurth join HVIA as a Principal Partner alongside NTI and Truck Assist and welcome its active participation and contribution”.
“The support of our partners is vital in driving many of our activities and strengthening our representation of Australia’s essential, and heavily relied upon, heavy vehicle industry and its customers.
“Wurth is a leader with an amazing heritage, culture and an organisation whose values align with HVIA. Its passion for success is evident through the growth it’s experiencing year on year.”
Wurth Australia CEO and Senior Vice President of the Wurth Group Serge Oppedisano says the new partnership comes at the same time as the company celebrates its 40th anniversary of operations within Australia.
