"This deal is good news for both Finning and Damar who bring highly valued specialist engineering and in-house capabilities to our business which allow us to achieve our mid to long term strategic goals, strengthening our technical capabilities in key markets such as the water industry," said Finning Power Systems director David Oates. ]

“We will provide access for Damar to both our national network and to a broader customer base. We will also provide the kind of backing and support that you would expect from a large global business for them to achieve the next steps in their strategic growth plans.
