Built locally, by locals, for local operations in Queensland
From its fender to fuel tank and tipper body, Holcim's newest addition is a true blue effort
Holcim’s Australian concrete and materials supply footprint is one of the most extensive in the country with more than 300 sites across its aggregates, concrete plants and precast facilities, each serviced by our fleet and logistics partners, making thousands of deliveries on any given day.
Fresh from the factory floor, this heavy haulage truck is one of many servicing Brisbane and is the latest addition to join our network.
Owned by Nathan Turner at True Blue Transport Group, the vehicle was put straight to work delivering roadbase materials for a busy Transport and Main Roads project.

Nathan operates his business with purpose, growing his business to create a company where people enjoy what they do, while helping local businesses prosper, a sentiment Holcim shares.
Nathan explained: “It’s a local business and the truck from front to back is entirely Australian built. Every part of the truck, including the body, was built in South East Queensland, and it was wrapped just five kilometres from the factory. Now it's ready to work locally too, starting at Petrie Quarry on Brisbane’s northern fringe.”
While Holcim owns a significant portion of its national fleet, long-term procurement partnerships with companies such as True Blue Transport ensure not only a reliable supply chain for customers, but also economic certainty for businesses and communities, showing Holcim is with them for the long haul.

Nathan Turner from True Blue Transport Group shares the story behind his new Mack truck.
“The majority of growth within my business has been through infrastructure and local projects so the funding for those local projects then flows on to support my business, which has been growing substantially through partnerships such as Holcim.
“In the last 18 months my business has grown from two trucks to 15. And so equally, I ensure that the money then flows into other local businesses to keep the area sustainable,” said Nathan.
Developing partnerships with suppliers that share Holcim’s commitment to building positive and sustainable economic outcomes is a key procurement objective.
