AT-PAC has opened a new branch in Darwin, Northern Territory, giving contractors in northern Australia local access to scaffold stock, rental equipment and technical support.

The company said the branch will support projects across oil and gas, mining, energy, infrastructure, defence and marine sectors.

The site is in Berrimah, around 15 minutes from Darwin city centre, according to AT-PAC Australia and Pacific.

AT-PAC said holding Ringlock system scaffold locally should reduce delivery times for customers working on remote and industrial sites across the Northern Territory and nearby regions.

The Darwin operation will provide scaffold sales and rental, alongside engineering input and project planning support.

For contractors, the practical benefit is having material closer to site. Northern Australia’s industrial projects can involve long transport distances, particularly where scaffold requirements change during a job.

AT-PAC said the branch will be staffed locally and backed by its wider Australian supply and engineering network.

Part of wider Australian growth

The Darwin opening follows AT-PAC’s recent expansion in Adelaide. The company has also operated branches in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Gladstone.

AT-PAC became part of Umdasch Industrial Solutions in 2025, following its earlier integration into the Umdasch Group.

The company said its Australian branch network is intended to give industrial customers quicker access to equipment and technical support where major projects are taking place.
