Overseas orders lead to expansion

HIGH from the success of building the world's largest revolving restaurant, The Australian Turntable company is booming.

The Kangaroo Flat-based company is increasing the size of its manufacturing capacity and has leased another building to handle increased orders, which include building the components for 60 revolving rooms in Dubai.

CEO Ben Chapman said the foundations for the new Dubai project, The Pad, were being put down now and the company would begin construction for the project in several months.

"We have been commissioned to build a 100-tonne, 50m turntable for a Tehran construction and five 9m turntables for the BMW Rolls Royce showrooms in Abu Dahbi," Mr Chapman said.

"I believe these will be the largest BMW showrooms in the world."

The company will build a new shed with overhead cranes to handle the projects.

"This and the leased building should handle our short-term space requirements," Mr Chapman said.

He said the company's workforce of 18 would be able to handle the substantial orders.

It has been heady days for the family engineering business that began manufacturing residential driveway turntables to save motorists having to reverse their cars onto busy roads.

The business has branched out into rotating exhibition and retail space, restaurants, bars and turntables for heavy trucks and other heavy industrial equipment.

The Pad apartments project follows others in the Middle East, including the world's largest revolving restaurant in the Milad Tower in Tehran and another revolving resturant in Qatar.
