New MD at Auger Torque Australia

Auger Torque Australia has some exciting news with the appointment of new managing director James Baird.

James will be operating out of the Brisbane based headquarters of Auger Torque Australia and will help to continue the phenomenal growth the company has enjoyed since launching down under over 10 years ago.

James has been in the earthmoving industry for most of his working life, will bring a massive amount of knowledge and experience to the table and will be migrating with his whole family from the USA to take the lead of Auger Torque’s Australian operations. 


Having formerly worked in his family’s business, JRB Company, Paladin Brands and finally for Auger Torque’s parent company, the Kinshofer GmbH means that James is the perfect candidate to give the company the leadership and direction it needs to further cement the company’s position as the leading attachments manufacturer specialising in Earth Drills, Augers & Trenchers.


“Making my decision to migrate to Australia with my family was made substantially easier knowing I was joining an experienced group that has enjoyed continued success based on a laser focus on customer service and market leading products.”

“I believe Auger Torque Australia is poised for significant growth, and I am lucky to join a talented and experienced team,” says Baird.

All the staff at Auger Torque Australia are excited to have James on board and look forward to work under a fresh new direction that will see the company prosper and continue to be your first choice when it comes to earthmoving attachments in Australasia.
