Luerssen Australia has announced it has expanded its footprint to Canberra and has established a base in the nation’s capital.
Over the last five years, Luerssen Australia has continued to expand its teams in Perth, Melbourne and Adelaide as it delivers twelve Arafura Class Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV) for the Royal Australian Navy.
The company says establishing an office in Canberra allows the team to work even more closely with Defence and the Federal Government, and continue to strengthen collaborative relationships.
Luerssen Australia Chief Executive Officer, Jens Nielsen, said this is an exciting time for the company.
“As our employee numbers continued to grow, it was clear we needed to expand our footprint to provide greater support for our team and our customer,” Nielsen said.
“We are extremely proud to be continually growing our workforce, and creating job opportunities for Australians.
“As we build strong foundations across Australia, we are demonstrating our commitment to being here for the long term.
“Luerssen Australia is passionate about helping create a sovereign shipbuilding capability in Australia.”
