Hoover moves to new Australian complex
HOUSTON -- Hoover Container Solutions, a subsidiary of Hoover Group, has moved to a larger and newly renovated facility in Perth, Western Australia, to accommodate its expansion in the region. The new distribution and service center allows Hoover to provide expanded services in Western Australia, while handling all Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), ISO tanks and offshore equipment destined for oil and gas platforms, mining sites, islands and supply bases north of Perth.
The site sits on more than an acre in the Marine Support Complex in Henderson, Western Australia, a suburb of Perth. It is approved as a washing facility by the Department of Agriculture and is completely funded for approval, by the Environmental Protection Agency. The facility plans to commence operations by late fall and will have the capability to launder to National Australian Standard - Class Six (NAS 6).
The complex hosts two large wash bays and workshop that have in ground sump pits and underground storage tanks. A concrete hard stand has numerous ground tanks, that captures all rain water, which will be used for the rinsing of tanks later on.
“Our new location allows us to efficiently and safely clean tanks in Western Australia, which helps us to better serve our customers,” said Paul Lewis, president and COO of Hoover. “We are eager to expand into Western Australia, and this new location is a reflection of that desire.”
In the future, the facility will also provide re-certification, repairs and maintenance, at a National Australian Testing Authorities (NATA) certified level.
