Manufacturer of the Year Sponsored by Downer Rail
2015 Major Sponsor, Downer Rail, awarded the prestigious award of Manufacturer of the Year to WearX.
A few short years ago, WearX created a vision to be the global leader in wear solutions. The mission they defined to create this reality, was to provide highly innovative and effective wear solutions to the global mining industry.
They have gone about their mission with passion and determination and have achieved remarkable results in a very short time frame.
The WearX team have combined a smart strategy that identified the right place in the market for the business to focus, with the melding of a range of complementary production capabilities into a disciplined, high quality operation and then went about taking the products born of this hard work to both domestic and international customers.
Their success has been in no short measure due to the fact they committed to a deep understanding of the problems and opportunities facing their clients and have created solutions that have delivered real, measurable improvements in productivity and costs for these clients.
These efforts were recognised in 2014 with the Premier’s NSW Export Award in the Minerals, Energy and Related services category.
WearX’s outstanding success in very tough market conditions, its visionary leadership and the ability to execute their strategy so effectively, make them a very worthy winner of the 2015 Manufacturer of the Year.
