Volvo Group Australia is now back in action at its Queensland-based Wacol factory following a four-week shutdown due to COVID-19 supply chain disruptions.
“I’m delighted to see work resume at our world class factory,” Volvo Group Australia president and chief executive Martin Merrick says.
“Key suppliers, both locally and overseas have resumed the production and shipping of components over the last few weeks.
“The safety and well-being of our people comes first and foremost.
“As well as the social distancing and hygiene measures currently in place, additional precautions like employee temperature monitoring will also be mandatory.
“Over the last seven weeks we’ve seen the best of the Australian transport industry delivering essential goods, services and people to their destinations in challenging circumstances.
“Our dealerships, parts distribution network and workshops have been on hand to support those vehicles during that time.
“And now I am very pleased to see our certified Australian Made Volvo and Mack trucks begin rolling out of the factory doors once again,” Merrick says.
