AUSTRALIA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The Australian economy has experienced continuous growth and features low unemployment, contained inflation, very low public debt, and a strong and stable financial system. By 2012, Australia had experienced more than 20 years of continued economic growth, averaging 3.5% a year. Demand for resources and energy from Asia and especially China has grown rapidly, creating a channel for resources investments and growth in commodity exports. The high Australian dollar has hurt the manufacturing sector, while the services sector is the largest part of the Australian economy, accounting for about 70% of GDP and 75% of jobs. Australia was comparatively unaffected by the global financial crisis as the banking system has remained strong and inflation is under control. Australia has benefited from a dramatic surge in its terms of trade in recent years, stemming from rising global commodity prices. Australia is a significant exporter of natural resources, energy, and food. Australia's abundant and diverse natural resources attract high levels of foreign investment and include extensive reserves of coal, iron, copper, gold, natural gas, uranium, and renewable energy sources. A series of major investments, such as the US$40 billion Gorgon Liquid Natural Gas project, will significantly expand the resources sector. Australia is an open market with minimal restrictions on imports of goods and services. The process of opening up has increased productivity, stimulated growth, and made the economy more flexible and dynamic. Australia plays an active role in the World Trade Organization, APEC, the G20, and other trade forums. Australia has bilateral free trade agreements (FTAs) with Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, and the US, has a regional FTA with ASEAN and New Zealand, is negotiating agreements with China, India, Indonesia, Japan, and the Republic of Korea, as well as with its Pacific neighbors and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, and is also working on the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement with Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the US, and Vietnam.

Colrain & QDS Parts Outlets Rebrand as MaxiPARTS

Leading transport equipment manufacturer, MaxiTRANS, has announced a

rebrand for its three retail & wholesale parts chains, Colrain, Queensland

Diesel Spares (QDS) and Gladstone Air Cleaner Services. At a Brisbane

Truck Show press conference, General Manager Peter Loimaranta

unveiled the new name “MaxiPARTS”, along with its bold logo and

branding, declaring that the new parts brand would usher in a new era of

truck & trailer parts supply to the Australian market.

MaxiTRANS acquired QDS in April 2012 when looking to expand the reach

of its existing parts chain, Colrain, further into the Queensland market and

provide greater support to customers in that area. According to Mr.

Loimaranta, the rebranding of the three businesses will mean that

operators will now be able to identify the expanded core product range

across a single trading name. “From Adelaide to Melbourne to Gladstone,

we will now have 17 retail stores servicing the south & east coasts of

Australia, meaning customers have only one name to remember from now

on when they are in need of truck & trailer parts – MaxiPARTS”

“Those retail stores will of course be backed up by our 4 wholesale outlets

in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane & Perth.”

MaxiPARTS National Retail Sales Manager, Justin O’Brien, added that the

new combined brand will provide customers with advantages with regards

to range and price. “Traditionally, Colrain has stocked predominantly hard

parts while QDS has focussed on products with more retail appeal, “he

said. “The new partnership means that from tyres and suspensions to tool

kits and portable fridges, all of our stores have everything covered.”

“But the greatest advantage from the added stores is what we’ve been

able to achieve with our prices,” continued Justin. “More stores means

greater buying power, which in turn means lower prices for our customers.

We’ve been able to work with our suppliers to negotiate some great deals,

many of which are on display here in Brisbane.”

Mr. Loimaranta pointed to the MaxiPARTS stand at the truck show as a

guide to how the new combined brand would soon appear to customers.

“We will be beginning our rebranding effective immediately,” he said, while

displaying the new logo. “Over the next few weeks, customers will begin to

see changes in the store with repect to branding, colouring and store

layout. We’re excited about entering the next phase of our history in the

supply of quality truck and trailer parts to the Australian market.
