Trivia

  • Boral had a partnership with Thyssen, therefore some Boral escalators and moving walkways were branded as Boral Thyssen. Boral was also a distributor of Thyssen escalators in Australia.
  • So far, Boral has been known to exported their elevators overseas to British Hong Kong and Singapore. It is unknown if they also exported them to other countries.
    • Their business in Singapore was established in 1991[5].
    • In Hong Kong, Boral elevators were distributed by Bongear (HK) Limited[6]. Bongear also distributed Thyssen elevators and escalators in Hong Kong, and the relationship between Boral and Thyssen might have led Boral to appoint Bongear as its sole agent in the region.
  • This company should not be confused with Zhenjiang Boral Machinery and Equipment Co. Ltd., a Chinese elevator company based in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, China which was established in 2014 and does not have any relationship with the Australian Boral.
