POSTPONED - Australian Automotive: Then, now and beyond?
Event description
POSTPONED - Due to the increasing number in COVID cases in NSW, Albury Library Museum have decided to postpone this event. We hope to run this event in the future, stay tuned!
The Borg Warner transmission plant in Lavington produced manual and automatic transmissions for cars produced at home and abroad including Chrysler, Ford, Maserati and even the London Taxi Company. At its peak, it employed over 1,200 people.
The operations at the factory faced frequent challenges; from fluctuations in the industry, including the impact of government policy, and changes to the automotive market. On the 31 October 2014, the plant ceased operations after forty-four years.
To close the exhibition Changing Gears: Borg-Warner to DSI, join us for a lively discussion panel exploring the history of the local automotive industry and possibilities for the future.
