Last night 100 attendees witnessed the fusion of innovation and craftsmanship at a special road tanker launch in Essendon.
Mark Stables, Managing Director of the Holmwood Group of Companies Victoria, said the latest stainless steel tanker to join the Hockney & Co portfolio marked a significant milestone for the bulk liquid storage and transportation system specialist.
“In collaboration with the talented and dedicated Holmwood engineering team we set out to offer a reliable and high quality alternative at a low price point representing unrivalled our market value,” he said in his presentation.
“Leveraging design expertise we took an already reputable type of product and infused that with Australian engineering practice.
Holmwood Group of Companies Victoria Managing Director, Mark Stables, delivers his keynote presentation at the tanker launch.“In the past five years we witnessed growth and a design maturity. But also a resounding success in the supply of aluminium tankers across Australia under this model.
“Bolstered by this success and driven by our commitment to innovation, we’ve decided to embark on a new frontier in the world of stainless steel tankers.
“We know the industry has been yearning for an alternative to the incumbent for quite some time.”
Stables said that while it is fully imported and price competitive the Hockney & Co stainless steel tanker is 100 per cent Australian designed.
“Every curve, every detail has been crafted carefully from our home right here in Melbourne,” he said.
“This tanker is not just a product; it’s a testament to our dedication to excellence – the symbol of our very commitment to delivering a top tier solution to our customers.”
