In 2021, Justin Nuich was appointed CEO, leading Mader into its next phase of growth. That same year, our Trade Upgrade Program was recognised with a Training Excellence Award at the 2021 Australian Business Awards
In February, we opened a new office in Adelaide, South Australia, and by March, our team had grown to over 1,300 employees. June marked a major milestone for our 15-year anniversary!
In January, we launched the Mader Clean Team in WA, followed by our Drill Support Division in February. We expanded into South America and the Philippines for the first time, delivering technical services and mentorship abroad.
We started 2018 by surpassing 1,000 employees, then launched our Rapid Response team in the Pilbara. Mid-year, we expanded into the U.S. with our first office in Colorado and moved into a new Head Office at Perth Airport to support continued growth.
Rapid growth sees Mader reach 500+ employees! With a large team behind us, we formerly established our Shutdowns and Fixed Plant Divisions, as well as started working in South Australia, New South Wales and the Northern Territory.
Recognising the flexibility of our tap-on, tap-off model, we launched our Ancillary division, offering Auto and High Voltage Electricians, Boilermakers, Light Vehicle Mechanics, and Heavy Road Transport Mechanics. We also expanded into Queensland. In February, we hit another milestone, growing to over 250 employees across the business.
Mader International is officially launched after successful expansion to the major mining regions of Africa and Southeast Asia.
Now with 20 employees on board, Mader’s famous field services are launched in Western Australia! This year also marked our first step onto the international stage, with Mader taking on work in Zambia, our first project outside of Australia.
Mader’s first workshop is opened to carry out offsite repairs in the local Perth area.
Let’s kick things off! Mader was founded by Executive Chairman Luke Mader, who saw a gap in the industry and began providing mechanical maintenance services in the Kimberley, WA.
