The Andrews Labor Government is backing a massive expansion of a world-leading Geelong manufacturer that will create hundreds of jobs and cement Victoria as a manufacturing powerhouse.
Premier Daniel Andrews joined Minister for Industry and Employment Ben Carroll, Member for Bellarine Lisa Neville, Member for Geelong Christine Couzens and Member for Lara John Eren at Carbon Revolution in Waurn Ponds to announce the company’s $100 million expansion, which will create 500 new jobs.
The project will almost triple Carbon Revolution’s existing workforce and increase production capacity from 10,000 to more than 150,000 wheels a year.
A new 7,000 square-metre facility will be built beside Carbon Revolutions’ manufacturing and research and development facility at Deakin University – part of the Geelong Future Economy Precinct.
Carbon Revolution manufactures one-piece carbon fibre wheels, which are lighter, reduce noise and vibration and improve acceleration compared to metal wheels.
