Our growth reflects a strong focus on capability, innovation, and meeting evolving client needs, with key expansions including PNG (2013), WA (2017), and the formation of Field Mining Services Group in 2019.

Since then, we have strengthened our service offering through specialised divisions spanning Safety Lift Solutions, engineering, electrical, onsite machining, and parts and equipment, alongside infrastructure maintenance projects and the acquisition of Schlam CRU in 2025. Rebranded as FMS Group in 2024, we are now a fully integrated, one-stop solution for mobile and fixed plant maintenance, shutdowns, infrastructure projects, and capital equipment sales across mining, construction, oil and gas, marine, and renewables.
