Anniversary Edition

In 1963 Mack started building trucks at a factory set up in three World War II hangars located in the Brisbane suburb of Archerfield.

Three years later Mack relocated to Rocklea, Brisbane.

The company started using shipping containers to bring in components from the US, starting in 1968.

In 1974, the Rocklea factory was flooded. The company recovered and released its first locally made cab-over in the same year.

In 1981 Mack opened a new plant in Richlands to produce close to 1000 6×6 trucks for the Australian Defence Force.

In 2001 the company was bought out by Volvo Trucks. As a result, Mack moved to its current factory in Wacol, Queensland, which builds Volvo and Mack trucks.

For the golden anniversary, Mack built 30 special edition Southern Cross series trucks that were available in five unique colours.
