Vorstrom

Vorstrom, a Southern Downs manufacturer of specialty vacuum tanks for the collection and transport of liquid waste, will double its production capacity through a $1.5 million expansion project.

The Warwick-based family-owned business designs, builds and services a wide range of vacuum truck models with capacity up to 24000 litres, including liquid waste trucks, industrial vacuum trucks and hydro excavation trucks.

The project, supported by the Jobs and Regional Growth Fund, will enable Vorstrom to build a new manufacturing facility with new technologies that will also reduce the reliance on imported parts and equipment and create an additional 22 jobs over five years.
