Elphinstone Group is an Australian privately held company that manufactures and assembles heavy equipment for the mining industry. It has facilities in Burnie, Tasmania[1] and in Victoria.[3] The corporate group includes the William Adams Caterpillar dealer in Tasmania and Victoria.[4]

Operations[edit]

Elphinstone Sustainable Energy & Engineering Solutions is a division of Elphinstone Group, formed by the acquisition of Southern Prospect. It provides design, manufacture and installation of electricity generation for remote sites.[5]

Elphinstone was one of the bidders to supply new armoured vehicles to the Australian Defence Force through project Land 400. If successful, the vehicles would have been built in Tasmania.[6] However their vehicle was not selected for phase two of testing by the Department of Defence.[7]

Dale Elphinstone[edit]

Founder, Dale Elphinstone, started his working life as an apprentice at William Adams. He later bought the company.[2] In 2016, Elphinstone was assessed as Tasmania's richest person by net worth[8] and remains so as of 2019.[9]

Dale Elphinstone's brother, Graeme, owns a similarly named company based at Triabunna, on the east coast of Tasmania.[10]
