Straterra establishes Austmine New Zealand

MEDIA RELEASE
5 April 2013 for immediate use
Straterra establishes Austmine New Zealand

Straterra is pleased to announce the establishment of AustmineNZ, having signed a New Zealand affiliation agreement with Austmine, Australia’s largest industry association of Mining Equipment, Technology and Services (METS) companies.

This allows AustmineNZ members to benefit from the Austmine global brand that is made up of a METS sector with some of the world’s leading innovators in mining technology, and boasting sector revenue of over $50 billion and exports of more than $15 billion for Australia to over 100 countries in the world.

Straterra hosted Austmine Executive Officer, Robert Trzebski, at the first meeting of AustmineNZ on 7 March 2013. Mr Trzebski said, “Australia’s demand for technical and professional expertise is high, and growing. The benefit of a New Zealand branch for us is increased capacity and capability to meet this Australian market demand and provide a broader base on which to build our credibility and influence.”

Mr Trzebski emphasised the importance of Austmine in providing New Zealand members with the opportunity to compete in global markets and leverage off the reputation and activities of Austmine.

Straterra Chief Executive Officer Chris Baker says Austmine has done a great job, achieving a lot for Australia and Straterra is proud to be a part of that success. “AustmineNZ opens up opportunities for New Zealand METS companies to market themselves on the world stage through trade missions, networking events and other promotional activities that Austmine offers. Austmine missions planned for 2013 include Moscow, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, West Africa, Brazil, Panama, Mexico and New Zealand, to name a few,” Mr Baker says.

The development of AustmineNZ is a logical extension of Straterra’s work. Straterra is working with a number of other organisations on this initiative, including Industry Capability Network (ICN), Export and Manufacturing NZ (Business NZ), New Zealand Trade & Enterprise, and the Australian Trade Commission.
