Queensland-owned manufacturing company Insulect Group has outgrown its current premises and is moving to Darra.

For the past six years Insulect’s Australian head office and main manufacturing and warehouse facilities have been located at Seventeen Mile Rocks. However, this site is no longer large enough to cope with their expanding business.

Primarily servicing the power transformer industry, Insulect has acquired a number of businesses in recent years, including HV Automation and Austape. This has allowed Insulect to provide a more complete service to their existing customers, as well as grow the business in a number of new industries, including power utility and aviation. The growth from these strategic investments meant that a move to larger premises was inevitable.

A new property was recently purchased by Insulect Group on Ipswich Road, Darra. With access via Ipswich Road Service Road, the property contains four independent industrial facilities, each with its own industrial and office spaces.

Insulect Group will relocate to one of these four facilities, at 2840 Ipswich Road, providing it with over 3000 square metres of industrial space and 700 square metres of office space – more than doubling their existing floor plan.

Insulect Group Managing Director John Healey says the new site will provide the company with the flexibility needed for continued growth. “The new Darra site not only gives us additional room for operational expansion, but allows us to leverage cost-saving synergies through improved use of space, both in the office and on the manufacturing floor.”
