Elphinstone Group is an Australian privately held company that manufactures and assembles heavy equipment for the mining industry. It has facilities in Burnie, Tasmania [1] and in Victoria. [3] The corporate group includes the William Adams Caterpillar dealer in Tasmania and Victoria. [4]
Elphinstone Sustainable Energy & Engineering Solutions is a division of Elphinstone Group, formed by the acquisition of Southern Prospect. It provides design, manufacture and installation of electricity generation for remote sites. [5]
Elphinstone was one of the bidders to supply new armoured vehicles to the Australian Defence Force through project Land 400. If successful, the vehicles would have been built in Tasmania. [6] However their vehicle was not selected for phase two of testing by the Department of Defence. [7]
Founder, Dale Elphinstone, started his working life as an apprentice at William Adams. He later bought the company. [2] In 2016, Elphinstone was assessed as Tasmania's richest person by net worth [8] and remains so as of 2019. [9]
Dale Elphinstone's brother, Graeme, owns a similarly named company based at Triabunna, on the east coast of Tasmania. [10]
