On Wednesday 15 June, Brown Brothers Engineers Australia celebrated the official opening of its new purpose-built facility in Melbourne.

Approximately 120 were in attendance, including over 70 customers and suppliers as well as international guest Ole Weiner, CEO of AxFlow Holding AB in Sweden.

The new facility was officially opened by John Inkster, Managing Director of the AxFlow Oceania Group and Ole Weiner.

The new site, located at 228 Atlantic Drive Keysborough, provides a much larger and improved space that is around triple the size of our previous Melbourne facility.

At over 5,500m², it has the additional space to hold some of the latest technology enabling us to design, build and test pumps and equipment to recognised standards.

Some of the key capabilities of the new site include:

  • 22m deep pump test well interconnected to a 2.6m deep test tank holding approximately 34,000 litres of water capable of testing pumps in excess of 250kW and flows to 300L/s
  • Dedicated diesel driven test bay
  • Overhead crane with 5 tonne lifting capacity

With business continuing to expand, the larger size and additional space of this purpose-built facility will mean BBE have greater capacity to deliver the best in pumping products, solutions and customer service.

Brown Brothers Engineers thanked their customers for the continued support and commitment as without them this facility would not have been possible.
