KOR’s new facility is located in Cockburn Central in the heart of Perth’s industrial zone and is a convenient 20 minute drive from Perth CBD, where it will support the industry’s growth in a region where vacuum and hydro excavation technology has thrived in recent years.
KOR says supporting WA’s growth with the equipment the industry needs is pivotal to the success of the state. Partnering with high quality product suppliers from around the world, KOR has the latest range of parts and accessories from Cobra, Southland Tools, Uraca, Duebre and an exclusive supply of Cappellotto equipment all in stock.
With Perth being the world’s most isolated capital city, KOR Business Manager for WA, South Australia and the Northern Territory Peter Jones – who lives locally in WA and is also the AUSJET ADVCA Chair – says Melbourne and Sydney are much further away than many people realise.
“Because of the significant distance between Perth and the eastern seaboard, it is important that we provide our customers the level of service and availability of spare parts they need locally in WA to confidently operate Cappellotto equipment,” says Mr Jones.
Further to its growth in WA, KOR has also opened a new facility in Preston, in Western Sydney’s industrial belt, to support Australia’s largest city with a spare parts range, unit availability and onsite industry professionals to support the product in the field.
KOR says this strategy supports the expansion of Australian cities and the large-scale infrastructure projects that continue to encourage economic growth.
“Projects including the Paramatta light rail, Greater Western Sydney Airport, a new runway at Melbourne airport, freeway upgrades and expansions across our cities and level crossing removal projects are all examples of projects where Cappellotto units operate,” said the company.
With unit parts and accessories now available in WA, Victoria, NSW and Queensland, KOR’s national footprint continues to grow, giving national fleets flexibility and local businesses access to a world leading industry equipment brand, Cappellotto.
KOR says customers trust the company because of its investment in the product, its Australia-wide operations and its continued product innovations that encourage a safer, environmentally friendly and more productive future.
