ITR Pacific is confident of strengthening its market position after acquiring a leading supplier of aftermarket final drives – Aus Final Drives
Aus Final Drives, renowned for its specialised expertise in providing aftermarket final drive solutions to the Australian earthmoving and construction industry, has been acquired by industry leader ITR Pacific.
This acquisition marks a significant milestone in ITR Pacific’s expansion strategy, positioning it to deliver an even broader array of services and enhanced expertise in the critical area of final drives.
Founded by experienced engineer Shaun Morton-Jones, Aus Final Drives has seen accelerated growth over the years due to its innovative approach to providing cost-effective, high-quality aftermarket final drive solutions.
“Shaun’s initiative began when he faced the challenge of high costs and limited availability of final drives in Australia, prompting him to seek more affordable alternatives,” ITR says.
Collaborating with like-minded engineers, Morton-Jones spent two years exploring international manufacturers and testing their final drives to ensure reliability and performance.
“This thorough approach, which included accelerated lifetime testing to identify the highest Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), laid the foundation for Aus Final Drives’ reputation for quality and reliability,” ITR says.
“By 2018, Aus Final Drives’ reputation for delivering high-quality, affordable final drive solutions had spread widely through word-of-mouth, resulting in a significant uptick in demand.”
This led to the business quickly becoming a leading supplier of aftermarket final drive solutions across Australia.
Known for its engineering prowess, problem-solving skills, and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction, ITR says Aus Final Drives filled a crucial gap in the market.
“It was often the go-to option when other suppliers were unable to meet customer needs,” ITR says.
Over the past nine years, Aus Final Drives has built a strong reputation for its extensive range of complete final drive assemblies for most makes and models up to 50 tonnes.
“It is known for being able to provide a cost-effective solution when no one else can,” ITR adds.
Additionally, Aus Final Drives has also gained recognition for its expert advice and timely support, helping customers select the right parts and resolving issues with efficiency.
The acquisition by ITR Pacific not only complements but also amplifies this successful business model.
By integrating Aus Final Drives into its operations, ITR Pacific will have an enhanced market presence and greater service capabilities.
Customers will now benefit from the expanded reach of ITR Pacific’s network, which includes branches and warehouses in Brisbane, Mackay, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Kalgoorlie.
ITR says this expanded network allows for same-day pickup options across major hubs, greatly increasing convenience for customers.
“The acquisition of Aus Final Drives represents a strategic alignment of strengths, with the combined resources and expertise poised to meet the growing demands of the Australian earthmoving sector,” ITR says.
“This integration not only broadens the product offerings but also provides a one-stop solution for all earthmoving machinery, up to 190 tonnes.
“The enhanced capabilities will deliver increased value to customers, streamlining their access to quality cost-effective final drive solutions and comprehensive support.”
