DORMA Aust Newsletter Dec 2006: All DORMA Divisions in new BHP Billiton Building

DORMA commenced business in Australia in 1982 with its Door Control Sales office based in Melbourne. During the next two decades, DORMA acquired a number of businesses starting with BWN Industries (Aust.) Pty Ltd in 1995 which, catapulted the company into market leadership for Automatic doors in Australia. We expanded our service operation and bought Auto Entry in 1997, followed by the acquisition of Edington Automatic Doors, Horizon Automatic Doors in Australia, and Horizon Auto Doors & Security Systems Ltd in New Zealand.
These acquisitions facilitated a third brand strategy in Automatics (in addition to DORMA and BWN), creating market opportunities in new market segments, that enabled us to establish a significant DORMA office with factory, warehouse and distribution facilities in New Zealand. To advance the situation, we bought Auto Door Systems in Western Australia in 2004 and Automatic Door and Building Maintenance Ltd (ABM) in Auckland in 2005.
