About Sime Darby
Harold Hastings Deering was appointed Manager of the new distributorship, and became a pioneer in the mechanisation of Australia, foreseeing the development needs of the growing nation, and securing the machinery necessary to do the work. In 1932 he formed Hastings Deering Engineering Company Pty. Ltd to acquire the distribution of Exide batteries. He added the Sydney Ford distributorship (trucks, cars and tractors) in 1935, and then an Alice Springs Ford dealership in 1936. Earthmoving equipment was introduced with Caterpillar dealerships being gained in the Northern Territory in 1948 (with Hastings Diesels Ltd in Alice Springs) and Papua New Guinea in 1953 (with Hastings Deering (Pacific) Ltd in Lae). The company also distributed the Lima and Michigan range of cranes and excavators in New South Wales, where a substantial engineering and body building business was built up in Sydney. At one time the company built the bulk of the airport service vehicles in Australia and established substantial export markets in Asia and the Middle East. A smaller side of this business was the manufacture of crane carriers on AEC chassis; and of some truck and tractor cranes based on Ford ‘Country’ tractors for use on aircraft carriers. An earthmoving equipment repair business was developed at the time of the giant Snowy Mountains Scheme. This indirectly precipitated the move into the Queensland Caterpillar dealership, with Waugh & Josephson selling its business in Queensland in 1953 and Hastings Deering closing its repair business in N.S.W. Hastings Deering has been at the forefront of development in Queensland, initially with sales of large Caterpillar tractors to contractors clearing land for agriculture, and later for large mining developments in Queensland and New South Wales. A strong relationship was forged between the company and Thiess Brothers, resulting in the appearance of a large Caterpillar fleet of machines on major civil projects around the country. Substantial sales of Caterpillar equipment over the years to major oil exploration and mining projects in Papua New Guinea has firmly established Hastings Deering as a major figure in that country’s economy and development. In 1992, the Hastings Deering Group was purchased by the Malaysia-based multinational Sime Darby Berhad. It now forms part of the Industrial Division of the Sime Darby
