FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS, GREAT THINGS EVOLVE
Our Heritage
Welcome to Holmwood Highgate—a legacy that began in the inventive 1950s. Born out of a need to repair and service American-built fuel tankers used during the Korean War. At a time when light-alloy welding was virtually unknown in Australia. The company quickly forged a reputation as industry trailblazers by introducing Australia’s first aluminium welding technology. This move launched a tradition of bold innovation that continues to define us today.
An Industry Leader
Since those formative years, Holmwood Highgate (Aust) Pty Ltd (HH) has become a marquee name in bulk liquid transport. As Australia’s longest-running aluminium road tanker manufacturer. We take pride in building durable, expertly engineered equipment recognised both nationwide and across the globe.
But we don’t stop at tankers.
Our team designs and manufactures bulk liquid transport equipment across a wide range of applications and produces. OEM fuel tanks for leading truck manufacturers in Australia and Japan, fueling growth across industries.
Through our specialised mining equipment division
Narwhal Fluid Quip, we proudly support Australia’s mining industry. Narwhal is the country’s leading manufacturer of fuel and lubrication service vehicles for major mining operations. With custom-engineered solutions designed for payloads of up to 85 tonnes—and beyond when required—ensuring that miners stay supplied, efficient, and safe.
