When the Sydney Harbour Bridge opened in 1932, it wasn't the only event to herald change in Australia.
It was also the year that Diver Consolidated Industries opened its doors for business.
The Melbourne-based family business is one of Australia's longest-established metals manufacturing and engineering companies with a proud history serving the local automotive industry.
It has weathered many storms; endured the vagaries of business during times of boom and uncertainty; established a reputation for innovation and enterprise while upholding the ethics of fair trading that has characterised Diver Consolidated Industries for more than 75 years.
In more recent times it has forged a close relationship with VCAMM. This partnership has been critical to the expansion of Diver Consolidated Industries into new and complementary markets, allowing it to prosper despite the challenging economic times.
Its ability to adapt to change, and to revise its business model to embrace diversity at a time when companies are reducing their exposure due to market uncertainty, gives it every reason to declare itself as 'an Australian success story'.
Its investment in MicroHeat Technologies is a 'Case' in point.
