What happened
- The six-year agreement is worth nearly A$40 million and extends a partnership that began in 1992.
- HIFraser is also qualified to make valves and fittings for Virginia Class submarines through ASC’s vendor qualification program.
- The signing took place at ASC’s Osborne site in South Australia.
Why it matters
Collins Class sustainment runs on long-term, qualified Australian suppliers. Clean, documented fluid systems are what keeps those valves and the systems behind them in service.
