Exciting transition for BekaertDeslee Australia

After 67 years of successful operations in Australia, BekaertDeslee is poised for a remarkable transition with the construction of a brand-new manufacturing site in Pakenham. As the expected move date draws closer, we are excited to embark on this new chapter.

For the past 57 years, the Dandenong South site has served BekaertDeslee Australia well, but it’s time to say goodbye and embrace a fresh start. The new facility will feature a purpose-designed layout under a single roof, allowing for improved workflow and efficiency, all with a lean approach integrated into the design process, reinforcing our Close To You culture. Schedules for moving existing equipment are being finalized, and new equipment is either on order or already en route to Australia.

The excitement surrounding the new site was palpable during the groundbreaking ceremony, which included a significant smoking ceremony performed by members of the local Bunurong tribe. This ancient custom, involving the smoldering of native plants, is believed to have cleansing properties and the ability to ward off negative spirits.

Recently, BekaertDeslee Australia celebrated another major milestone as the steel framework for the new building began to take shape. This development marks a crucial step forward in the construction process, signaling that the new facility is finally becoming a reality.

By prioritizing inclusivity and addressing employee needs, BekaertDeslee Australia aims to foster a positive outlook on this exciting development in its 67-year history in Australia.

As construction continues and the new facility takes shape, the entire team at BekaertDeslee Australia looks forward to a bright future, further strengthening its operations in Australia.

Always Close To You.
