Hydro Australia is a local success story and a timely reminder that the Latrobe Valley is a great place to open your own business.
Hydro Australia commenced in 1998 as a pump aftermarket service centre and is now a division of Hydro Inc, the largest independent pump rebuilder in the world.
Hydro Australia has become a key employer for the region, employing 40 locals based in Morwell.
Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester congratulated owner Ross Bertoli for his ongoing commitment to the Latrobe Valley.
“Our local economy relies on people like Ross and his businesses, which are prepared to invest in the Latrobe Valley community and help to create more opportunities for young people into the future,” Mr Chester.
“We are facing some challenging times, but I am confident the Latrobe Valley has a bright future ahead.”
