Walkinshaw is on track to deliver more vehicles in nine years than HSV delivered in 30, showing just how big Australia’s automotive re-manufacturing industry has become.

"And that’s just one of several companies involved in the local auto industry, with Australian automotive manufacturing now employing almost as many people as those who worked at Ford's Broadmeadows and Geelong factories and Holden's Elizabeth factory combined when local manufacturing officially ended in Australia in 2016 and 2017."


"Also growing is the network of satellite suppliers who provide locally developed parts to Walkinshaw, Premcar and RMA.

“One of the great things we do with a car is we use our local supplier base for 80 percent of the content we add," says Premcar engineering director, Bernie Quinn.

"The unique Warrior content is sourced locally, manufactured locally. We've used all of those suppliers we used to use back in the day.

"It's a great story about the rejuvenation of the Australian manufacturing scene, too. We're really proud to be part of this rejuvenation."
