Testimonials

Suppliers play a significant role in helping us achieve our performance goals,from sourcing materials to help ramp up production to finding better options for products and services used in our processes and across the business. Local procurement is incredibly important to Queensland Metals because we are a 24- hour operation. Whenever we require an urgent response on our mine site, our dedicated local suppliers are engaged and ready to assist at any time. Isadraulics has contributed to Queensland Metal’s success by continuing to provide ongoing rapid response. It doesn’t matter if its three o’clock in the morning, the Isadraulics team is willingly onsite to support us and provide a high a quality service. Local businesses provide more than just a service to the mine, they also provide sponsorships to local sporting clubs, funding to community groups, generate greater employment for local families and are an integral part of the Mount Isa community. Some of the values we look for in our suppliers include entrepreneurialism through taking different approaches to solve our challenging problems as well as their investment in high-class facilities and workshops like those at Isadraulics. Some of the assets here in these local workshops can’t even be found in our capital cities, so that’s amazing for our regional communities. Our mining operation is on the doorstep of the Mount Isa community, so it’s really important to us that we invest back into the community anyway we can and supporting local businesses such as Isadraulics is a great way to do that.
