If we needed a single image to represent teamwork, this would be it.

Our crew was recently in Laos completing a major girth gear change, bringing together specialists from our Perth, Melbourne and Newcastle operations.

That's the strength of partnering with Hofmann Engineering for your on‑site work.

We can draw on expertise from across all of our locations to deliver the job on time and to the highest standard. This ensures quality outcomes no matter where the work is happening.

Last Thursday both our Bendigo and Perth locations took part in Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea.

This annual event is a fun and worthwhile method to help the Cancer Council raise much needed funds that go towards vital cancer research, support services, prevention program and advocacy.

Both locations had a great turnout, with plenty of hungry and happy employees donating. We’ve been informed there was some friendly rivalry among the apprentices in Bendigo to bake the best, and meanwhile Perth had a great mix of savoury and sweet creations.

We took part in honour of the many people impacted by Cancer; employees, suppliers, employee families and customers. Our thoughts go out to every family affected by Cancer.

Vibration analysis is a powerful technique that measures and interprets machine vibrations, in order to assess structural and mechanical health.

By applying vibration analysis, we can identify underlying hidden faults such as misalignment, unbalance, or bearing wear, way before a catastrophic failure occurs.

As a result we significantly reduce equipment downtime and maintenance costs. This helps avoid a disaster, and creates a much safer environment.

The top 10 benefits of vibration analysis in gearboxes, are;

⚙️ Early fault detection
⚙️ Prevent catastrophic failures
⚙️ Enhances safety
⚙️ Identify imbalance and misalignment
⚙️ Detect lubrication issues
⚙️ Track gear health
⚙️ Reduce unplanned downtime
⚙️ Extend gear and bearing life
⚙️ Validate repairs and rebuilds
⚙️ Improve overall plant reliability

We invite you to get in touch to find out more about vibration analysis and how it may benefit you.

Throwback Thursday! Here’s a fantastic old photo of the front of our Bassendean property from 1971.

Notice the six-digit telephone number on the sign; a remnant of a simpler time before 10-digit phone numbers, the Internet and all of the other technology advancements of the last 55 years.

This was the sole Hofmann Engineering building back then, and no doubt felt impressive at the time to our founders. Did they ever wonder if they would need more space for the business?

Now, this same address is the entrance to the global headquarters of Hofmann Engineering, featuring over 13 hectares of workshops, offices and storage.

Just a reminder that our team will be exhibiting next Tuesday to Thursday at IODS 2026.

If you’re attending, look out for us at stand 2C30. It would be great to meet and discuss what we’re doing in the defence space.

Events like the Indian Ocean Defence & Security Conference and Exhibition highlight the importance of collaboration, advanced technology, and local expertise in building a stronger, more capable future.

Hofmann Engineering have been very lucky to have recently hosted visits from Ponderosa Mining Corporation from Peru and NEXA Resources, who have mining interests in Brazil and Peru.

They were both here for Global Resources Innovation Expo (GRX26) yet took time from their busy schedules to visit our Bassendean facilities.

Simão Antunes, our General Manager of Latin America stated, “It’s always a pleasure to meet with our industry partners and customers from Latin America; our relationships always grow stronger with these visits.”

15/05/2026

We were pleased to host the visiting Philippines delegation for GRX26 at our Bassendean headquarters last week.

This was a great opportunity to share insights into our engineering and manufacturing capabilities, discuss regional collaboration, and showcase the work our teams are delivering across Australia and abroad.

The team at Hofmann Engineering look forward to strengthening ties and continuing the conversation.

Our MME Dragline and Shovel gear manufacturing accuracy is better quality than OEM

That's a tall statement, but we can back it up with laboratory inspection reports. How? Well, we work in DIN 1 / AGMA Q15 specifications, unlike your typical shovel and dragline supplier.

It's well known that AGMA Q7–Q9 is the typical expectation for commercial gearing. However, with our investment in a HOFLER Rapid 6300XL, reports show that we produce Q15, which is normally reserved for precision instruments and aerospace components.

That, coupled with our latest design gearing that is fully forged when application allows, means that you receive better manufacturing with less risk and a vastly superior product.
