An Australian automotive manufacturer which began life as Tickford Engineering in 1996, became Prodrive Automotive Technology Australia in 2001 and then became Premcar in 2012, celebrates 28 years of operations in September 2024.
Following a management buyout by the company’s current two Australian owners 12 years ago, Premcar’s sales are 15 times in size today, and its local team has grown from 25 to around 200 people.
Premcar has reflected on some significant milestones from the past 28 years.
It was responsible for the secondary manufacture of more than 210,000 new cars in Australia. It has been involved with more than 5000 vehicle programs and projects.
It has employed many of Australia’s experienced, skilled and talented engineers, designers and new-car manufacturing staff, and the team continues to grow. It has partnered with many of the biggest global OEMs, some of which remain clients.
At the end of May 2024, Premcar celebrated its 10,000th new car production milestone for its Epping assembly plant in Melbourne. The vehicle was a 2024 Nissan Patrol Warrior.
