History

Our History

Originally established in 1993 to provide the New Zealand/Australian presence for a European company to support the localisation programme for a major defence project in the marine sector, Noske-Kaeser New Zealand was incorporated as a wholly New Zealand entity in 1997.

Winning our first Rail HVAC contract in 2000, we quickly grew to become a major provider of new build HVAC equipment for passenger trains and locomotives in the Australian market building a wealth of experience especially in high ambient temperature environments.

To support our customers, in 2003 we established an Australian subsidiary with overhaul/maintenance capability first in Victoria, then in Western Australia. Adopting a brand agnostic approach, this is now a significant part of our business.

In 2015 the marine part of the company was sold, and with a 100% focus now on the Rail market our name changed to Noske-Kaeser Rail & Vehicle

In 2022 now under 100% Australian ownership, Noske-Kaeser Rail & Vehicle combined with Coachair's Rail division to form Noske Rail
