Bonfiglioli scooped the ‘Excellence in the Application of Gears, Motors or Drives’ award at the 2014 Australian Bulk Handling Awards, or “Bulkies” as they have been freshly coined.
The All Torque Transmissions supply partner won for its collaboration with Rio Tinto and Bellingham Engineering, where 27 A-Series helical-bevel gear units were supplied to increase capacity at Rio’s rail welding facility in Karratha, Western Australia.
