HistoryThe business originally formed as Freighter-Lawton Industries being rebranded Freighter Industries in 1963.[1] It was originally based in Seaton. In 1975 it was sold to Leyland Australia and rebranded PMCSA moving to a new plant at Royal Park in 1976.[1] In 1991 following the closure of Pressed Metal Corporation in Sydney and the consolidation of operations in Adelaide, PMCSA was renamed PMC Australia.[2] PMCSA was included in the sale of Leyland Australia's (by now renamed JRA Limited) bus businesses to Clifford Corporation in July 1996.[1] Following the collapse of Clifford Corporation, the plant was sold in 1999 to a consortium of Custom Coaches, Jim Bosnjak and John Hewson and rebranded Australian Bus Manufacturing.[3][4] Custom Coaches assumed full ownership in 2000.[1][5] In the 1980s PMCSA also built the Elwood bus chassis with most being sold to Melbourne operators.[1][6][7] References1. ^1 2 3 4 Memoirs of a bygone era Australasian Bus & Coach June 2008 {{Automotive industry in Australia}}{{Australian bus manufacturers}}2. ^"PMC Australia" Australian Bus Panorama June 1991 issue 6/9 page 17 3. ^"Austral Pacific Group" Fleetline May 1999 page 75 4. ^"New Owner for Bus Plant" Australian Bus Panorama June 1999 issue 14/6 page 32 5. ^"Australian Bus Manufacturing" Australian Bus Panorama August 2000 issue 16/1 page 18 6. ^"Victorian Buses in the Eighties" Australian Bus Panorama September 1990 issue 6/2 page 11 7. ^[https://web.archive.org/web/20090912004859/http://www.busaustralia.com/fleetlists/elwood.htm PMCSA Elwood Series] Bus Australia 3 : Bus manufacturers|Motor vehicle manufacturers of Australia|1999 disestablishments in Australia |
