McCormack Industries, affectionately known as ‘the front-end loader people’, has been acquired by Digga Australia
Digga Australia Group has announced that it has acquired McCormack Industries Pty Ltd.
McCormack Industries has been a cornerstone of Australian manufacturing since 1984, Digga says, manufacturing cotton handling equipment, agricultural and earthmoving attachments and the front-end loaders that lead to the company being known as “the front-end loader people”.
Located in Aubigny on the Queensland Darling Downs, McCormack Industries has grown from a small family-owned business into an industry leader focused on manufacturing quality and reliable agricultural and industrial attachments.
“We see this acquisition as a perfect fit for our business as an avid supporter of Australian manufacturing,” Digga Group CEO Zoe Conde says.
“McCormack Industries has built a strong brand in the agricultural and industrial attachments space, which is an area of products that Digga hasn’t had a strong focus on historically.”
Strategic alignment
The acquisition of McCormack Industries is a strategic alignment of shared values and goals, Digga announced, with both Digga Australia and McCormack Industries being second generation family-owned businesses.
McCormack Industries’ products will continue to be manufactured out of its Aubigny factory with previous owner Brendan McCormack and his team staying on to continue to grow the brand.
McCormack Industries and Digga Australia sales will run independently from one another, ensuring that both brands remain running smoothly.
“We are excited to welcome Brendan and the entire McCormack team into the Digga family,” Conde says.
“With the addition of being a family owned and operated business with a 40-year history, we can relate to a number of the highs and lows that both businesses have faced over that period.
“We are excited to continue the McCormack legacy with the backing of the whole Digga Group.”
