Lederach, PA, May 30, 2012 ­— Global specialty contractor, Rotondo Weirich Enterprises, Inc. (RW), the only mobile modular precaster in the World, is proud to announce the opening of their fourth office, RW Australia. The US based RW is located outside of Philadelphia, PA; RW Middle East operates out of Dubai, UAE; and  RW Antares, the Latin American branch operates out of Mexico. RW Australia, located just outside of Melbourne, will serve all of Australia.

"The Australian market is already familiar with the environmental and seismic benefits and the design flexibility that modular concrete housing offers, so this was an easy choice for us," said Steve Weirich, President and CEO of RW.

RW Australia’s focus is on modular concrete housing facilities, which range from worker housing accommodations, and correctional facilities to student housing and senior care facilities. The unique business model being brought down under consists of setting up a mobile production facility onsite or local to the project site, offering a number of benefits to the owner, general contractor, all other trades involved, and the local communities. This model allows for drastic reduction in program and costs, increased communication and collaboration between teams, and the creation of new jobs before the facilities are even open.

Mikael Carlstrom, Director of RW Australia said "This unique RW modular precast construction method utilizes key personnel from the RW team, who train local labour at the site of construction, providing RW certification and new skills which are then transferrable to their next job. This mobile production concept means that builders all over Australia now have access to this superior technology, a global network, and modular housing expertise."

RW Australia will operate as a specialty contractor and become involved early on from the design phase and seeing the project through to execution of construction. To learn more about RW Australia, contact Mikael Carlstrom at 03 9824 8211 or mcarlstrom@rwaustralia.com.au
