It not only protects lives and livelihoods, it provides peace of mind and, many decades on, continues to deliver on Davey\u2019s promise of dependability.<\/h3>\n
As is the way in business, economics and logic have seen more and more local production move offshore over the years \u2013 no more so than in the pump industry.\u00a0 That said, Davey\u2019s legendary Firefighter pumps had been assembled on Aussie soil until late 2019 when Davey\u2019s locally-based supplier made a decision to move production to their Thailand facility \u2013 just minutes down the road from the Honda factory where the engine for the Davey Firefighter is produced.<\/div>\n

With all the key components of the product being manufactured in Thailand \u2013 and needing to be assembled on the Honda motor \u2013 the move seemed logical and economical for Davey.<\/p>\n

But, a number of months in and following a harrowing bushfire season in Australia in late 2019\/early 2020, Davey found the supply chain had become cumbersome and unable to respond quickly enough to the demand from customers \u2013 and this was only made worse by global COVID-related restrictions and delays.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to be highly responsive with this product and the supply chain wasn\u2019t working,\u201d says Davey CEO David Worley.\u00a0 \u201cAfter all when Firefighter products are needed they are needed urgently.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBringing this line back to production at Davey\u2019s factory in Melbourne is consistent with our overall strategy to be highly responsive to local customer needs. We export our Firefighter all over the world, but our Australian market is by far the largest and we want to support it better than anyone else in the industry does.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Davey Firefighter line is targeted to be operational at Scoresby, Melbourne within the next month and will employ an additional five people fulltime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
