End of Year Message from our CEO

It seems like the year has just flown since February this year when I joined HRL as CEO, and it is important, at this time, to thank you, our customers and friends for your ongoing support during 2016. We look forward to working togther in 2017.

At HRL, our team comes to work every day driven to solve our customers' most difficult technical challenges, deliver innovative solutions, create real value and transform commercial performance. Our experts take deep personal pride in sha

king hands with a customer inviting them back to work on a new project because of the sustained value created last time. We are proud to have some of Australia and South-East Asia's largest energy, resources, and industrial companies as regular customers.

Over time, HRL has assembled and continues to build a genuinely unique blend of advanced laboratories and field testing, materials, science, digital and engineering capability stemming from our roots as the R&D group within the State Electricity Commission Victoria.

Our mission today is to dramatically improve the reliability, efficiency, and sustainability of our customers' assets and processes, creating operational competitive advantage which can make the difference between exceeding performance targets or not. We are also leading forensic metallurgical failure investigators, often providing expert witness services in State and Federal courts. In galvanising our brand, we are also re-invigorating how we partner with customers - we call this the HRL Blueprint.

It's a tried and trusted, yet differentiated approach, applying all our years of experience plus new thinking to tailor a relationship and outcome best-suited to the customer's situation. As your business identifies the technical challenges it needs to solve to sustain and drive growth, the team at HRL looks forward to partnering with you to deliver the innovation you need to win in the market.

From all of us at HRL the very best wishes for a wonderful holiday season, and a healthy and successful year ahead.

Our Bright Future

From where we sit, it's an exciting time in the world with major advances being made at the intersection of multiple technical and commercial disciplines. In an intensely competitive market, there are huge opportunities for companies who can successfully innovate.

Best wishes for a safe and enjoyable festive season.
