HEADLINE: Aegis Sales & Service Announces Strategic Partnership to Bolster Industrial Fleet Safety

Brisbane, QLD – Aegis Sales & Service, a leader in Australian industrial safety and technical instrumentation, is proud to announce a new international partnership with Breatech, a premier South African manufacturer of advanced alcohol interlock systems.

This strategic collaboration establishes Aegis as an exclusive service and support partner for Breatech’s interlock technology in Australia.

The partnership’s initial focus is the support of the high-profile Mader Group fleet, a global leader in mobile equipment maintenance.

For Kimberley Nunn, General Manager of Aegis Sales & Service, this partnership is a natural extension of the company’s core mission.

“Integrating advanced interlock support into our service suite aligns perfectly with our vision of ‘Looking After Your Safety,” said Ms. Nunn.

“While traditionally known for gas detection and height safety, our move into interlock technology represents our commitment to emerging safety sectors. This isn’t just a new revenue stream; it’s a way to engage our existing technical capabilities to provide a more holistic solution for our heavy-industry and transport clients.”

Under the new agreement, Aegis Sales & Service will manage the critical repair and calibration lifecycle for Breatech interlock units.

Rather than a standard installation role, Aegis will leverage its Geebung-based technical laboratory to provide specialised maintenance.

With a fleet of over 2,000 vehicles operating across high-risk mining and roadside environments, Mader Group relies on interlock technology to ensure the highest standards of operator safety and corporate responsibility.

Units from the Mader fleet will be uninstalled and sent to Aegis’s Brisbane headquarters for precision calibration and technical repair, ensuring every device meets stringent safety standards before being redeployed into the field.

The partnership with Breatech serves as a launchpad for Aegis to represent the South African manufacturer in the broader Australian transport sector.

Beyond the initial service phase, Aegis will act as the Australian representative for Breatech’s next-generation interlock models, offering new sales and integration opportunities for transport and logistics firms looking to upgrade their fleet safety.

“Our immediate priority is ensuring a frictionless service experience for Mader and their 2,000-strong fleet,” continued Ms. Nunn.

“As we prove our capability in this space, we look forward to scaling this technology across Australia, helping more businesses separate drinking from driving and ensuring every worker returns home safely.”
