The shovel-shutdown experts

FMS

FMS Group is celebrating 20 years of operations this year. This is a milestone moment for the engineering and maintenance-services company established in 2005 with just 30 employees. Right now, the company has more than 600 staff and operates across Australia and PNG, diversifying from mining into other industries like construction, marine and renewables. 

Throughout rapid expansion, FMS Group has focused on providing a one-stop service to clients, specialising in end-to-end project and shutdown solutions with a vast range of in-house support teams. Implementing an in-house engineering, project management, machining, construction and heavy-lift jacking division — along with FMS designed and manufactured equipment and tooling — has positioned FMS Group as the go-to provider for turnkey projects. Raising just the one PO for a job makes working with FMS easy and efficient — the point of difference that has skyrocketed the company’s growth. 

In recent years, FMS Group has made a name for itself through its specialty — shovel shutdowns. Whether it’s a demonisation, relocation, de-deck, carbody overhaul or undercarriage change-out, FMS delivers expert project management, handling the entire shutdown in-house from start to finish. 

While FMS Group understands its strengths, the company also recognises its growth pathways, having complemented its services business with an equipment division in recent?years. Coupling trusted service capability with a range of synergistic products adds the manufacturing and supply of equipment to FMS’s holistic approach to maintenance. 

FMS is the Oceania supplier of Ground Force Worldwide and TowHaul, two companies recognised for providing unique engineered designs and solutions to support load and haul operations across the Oceania region. 

Not only can all Ground Force Worldwide and TowHaul products be ordered through FMS Group, but the growing company can service and maintain this equipment. FMS Group now also manufactures Ground Force Worldwide water tanks and dump trays across Australia under license. 

With plenty of new business stemming from its partnership with Ground Force Worldwide and TowHaul, FMS Group has added another product to its portfolio. 

The HAWC brand, which stands for “Hard-As Wear Components”, leverages the innovative induction hardening processes that FMS Group and its manufacturing partner have been working on over the years. HAWC provides enhanced wear life for undercarriage components for all makes and models of rope shovels and excavators found within the Australian and Oceania markets.
