Mackellar Group

Our Story

MacKellar Group was founded by Alastair MacKellar in 1966 based on humble family values and quickly grew to specialise in civil earthmoving, mining services and hire of large-scale equipment.

For 55 proud years, MacKellar Group was Australia’s largest privately owned mining equipment and services provider.

The business started from the ground up, when Alastair MacKellar began his apprenticeship at the age of 17 and through a lot of hard work, effort, and dedication MacKellar gained an enviable reputation for performance and reliability.

MacKellar's capability and capacity were recognised by the North American Construction Group (NACG) in a strategic acquisition which was completed on 1 October 2023.

MacKellar continues to expand and grow in the Australian market, committed to the same values and to continue delivering results by ensuring the highest quality equipment and service.
