ATCO Structures & Logistics Opens Manufacturing Plant in Australia

PERTH, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwired - Oct. 24, 2013) - ATCO Structures & Logistics Pty. Ltd (ATCO) announced today the official opening of its new manufacturing plant in Australia. The 150,000 sq. ft. (~14,000 sq. m.) facility, located in the Latitude 32 Industrial Zone in the city of Kwinana, is ATCO's newest modular manufacturing operation in Australia. With the addition of this facility, ATCO now operates six manufacturing plants in the country.

The site was chosen due to its proximity and access to distribution networks including road, rail and port as well as the capacity to draw on an established supply chain infrastructure and workforce for the future growth of the business. ATCO anticipates that the facility will create approximately 100 new jobs in the Kwinana area within the first three years of operation.

"The Kwinana plant will expand ATCO's manufacturing capacity in Australia and help us meet the growing demand for our products and services in the country, especially for large scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) and mining infrastructure projects," said Adam Beattie, Managing Director, ATCO Structures & Logistics Pty Ltd. "We see great opportunity in Western Australia and are committed to the region for the long term. ATCO will work with the local community to hire skilled trades people and production workers, ensuring that the Kwinana area fully benefits from ATCO's presence."

In Canada and around the world, ATCO has a long history of being an active corporate citizen in the communities where it operates. As a demonstration of this commitment, ATCO also announced today a new partnership with the City of Kwinana that will support the council's National Aboriginies and Islanders Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) celebrations, a series of events that focus on promoting and increasing cross-cultural understanding of the city's large Indigenous population.

The Kwinana plant is currently manufacturing modular units for the Wheatstone Project that was recently awarded to ATCO. This was ATCO's fourth major contract award supporting LNG projects in Australia. In 2011 and 2012, ATCO delivered three large workforce housing projects for LNG facilities on Curtis Island, providing more than 6,000 beds for workers constructing LNG terminals.
