Conplant acquires Compaction Australia

We’ve expanded our fleet and increased our team with the acquisition of compaction hire specialist, Compaction Australia.

Our purpose is to deliver our customers the most diverse and comprehensive range of compaction solutions across Australia.

Today, our capability to achieve this has significantly increased with the acquisition of Compaction Australia, a leading Queensland based compaction hire specialist.

A diverse group of construction workers and staff, wearing orange, blue, and yellow safety vests and helmets, poses in front of various construction vehicles from Compaction Australia under a partly cloudy sky. The scene captures a sense of teamwork and camaraderie.

It’s a game changer…

Compaction Australia is a proven leader with a great reputation for excellent customer service and quality equipment. Their culture also perfectly matches our strong reputation for delivering reliable compaction products with no-nonsense, specialist advice.

“Through this purchase, we’ve gained some very experienced and dedicated people and as we all know, even quality products struggle to deliver without good people supporting them. The transaction was a very logical and natural fit for us”

We have a range of compaction solutions across Australia. Today, our capability to achieve this has significantly increased with the acquisition of Compaction Australia, a leading Queensland based compaction hire specialist.

“We’ve known the owners for almost 20 years, and we’ve always respected and admired the way they’ve operated and grown their business,” said Ian Coleman, Conplant Managing Director.

Two smiling men in blue shirts stand in front of a white truck adorned with the "Compaction Australia" logo and a whimsical blue dinosaur graphic, celebrating their new acquisition. The man on the left has light hair, while the man on the right sports a dark baseball cap and sunglasses.

Our Very Large Fleet Gets Bigger

We’ve also acquired the company’s fleet including high-quality Ammann, Caterpillar and Hamm rollers, low loaders and field service vehicles.

This and other mid-term plans will increase our fleet size to 1,000 rollers this year providing us with an even better capacity to meet customer needs.
