Macmahon Holdings Limited was founded by Brian Macmahon, an
Adelaide civil engineer, in 1963. It is based in Perth, Western Australia, with offices in Queensland, South Australia, Indonesia and Malaysia
.
The company operates in the Mining and Construction sectors and is listed on the
Australian Stock Exchange. It has an annual turnover of about A$
850 million.
In June 2008, Macmahon made a hostile takeover bid for rival company Ausdrill Ltd.[1]
In January 2013, MacMahon secured its largest ever contract from
Fortescue Metals Group after it was awarded a $1.8 billion contract for the Christmas Creek mining operation's expansion. The five-year contract would deliver all aspects of mine operations, including drill and blast, overburden removal, ore harvesting, maintenance of equipment and associated services, for the expansion.[2]
Macmahon Holdings also operates in the construction industry under the name Macmahon Contractors.[3] It is unrelated to an Adelaide-based company named McMahon Services.[4]
