Segula Technologies Australia has announced plans to expand its office in South Melbourne to oversee regional activities in the Asia-Pacific.
The French engineering firm, with 140 offices and 10,000 employees in 30 countries, is expected to use its expanded Melbourne office to support defence, automotive, rail and medical activities in Australia and throughout the region.
According to Segula Technologies, Melbourne was chosen as its headquarters because of the city’s “renowned technological universities and industries” and its existing infrastructure and talent base.
The firm, which has employed several former Holden engineers, is planning to employ more engineers, 3D designers and program managers in the next two to three years.
The firm has worked a number of large defence and transport infrastructure projects, including the SEA 1000 Attack Class submarines program.
Victoria’s Minister for Industry Support and Recovery, Martin Pakula, welcomed Segula’s announcement.
“We are pleased to be working with Segula, whose investment will mean more high-value defence and infrastructure technology jobs for Victoria,” Minister Pakula said.
“With Victoria’s strengths already set in manufacturing, this is a win-win for Victoria and for Segula.”
Treasurer Tim Pallas added: “Global companies appreciate the value offered by Victoria’s skilled workforce and a commercial environment that fosters innovation and growth – and they are voting with their feet.”
Segula Technologies Australia managing director, Asia-Pacific, Pierre Maciejowski thanked the state government for its support.
“We are grateful for the support of the Victorian government, which is a demonstration of its faith in Segula’s ability to grow valuable jobs for Victorian workers,” Maciejowski said.
“We are excited about our opportunities here in Victoria.”
