Austrak

Austrak was founded in Australia in 1980. Since then, the company has grown to be Australia's largest railway sleeper manufacturer and a world leader in sleeper design and production technologies. The company has produced in excess of 20 million sleepers for rail projects across Australia and around the world. The company is a leader and innovator... in the design and manufacture of pre-stressed concrete sleepers and turnout bearers. Austrak designs, constructs, commissions and operates its own sleeper manufacturing plants. Since 2006, Austrak has been a fully-owned subsidiary company of the Laing O'Rourke Group. This gives the company the strong financial backing of a global development and construction company. As a privately-owned company, Laing O'Rourke fully supports Austrak's focus on innovation and re-investing in the company. The company's strong commitment to innovation, research and development, and continuous improvement ensures the company's place as a technology leader within the industry. In particular, the company is focused on improving design and production methods that will reduce environmental impacts and the company's carbon footprint.
