High Modulus open in Australia

Mark Clothier appointed MD

High Modulus have announced the opening of a new facility in Australia. With new premises, new management and new equipment, this exciting development enables the company to continue growing its presence in the Australian market.

Situated just off the M1, halfway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, the facility incorporates offices, warehousing and production, enabling the growing team to supply a comprehensive range of composite materials, structural engineering services, and the B3 SmartPac solution to customers across Australia. Customers may already have met Nick Boltar, who now takes responsibility for sales in Australia, having spent the last 18 months managing New Zealand accounts from the High Modulus head office in Auckland.

Mark Clothier has been appointed Managing Director of High Modulus (Australia), having spent the previous ten years as Managing Director of the Australasian branch of safety and survival equipment distributor, RFD.

“I am pleased to have joined High Modulus at such an exciting time in the company’s development,” says Clothier. “We have a thirty year history of supplying world class composite solutions to customers around the world, and I look forward to adding my experience to the team to establish a sustainable platform from which to expand our Australian business.” Tony Riek, formerly of Riviera, has been commissioned to manage the set-up of the B3 SmartPac production in Queensland.

The Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, from 22-25 May, is the first event where the new High Modulus (Australia) presents itself to the market.
