Lincom Group and Glendun Group have joined forces, proving the best relationships often take time to blossom.
Strong partnerships rarely happen by chance. They are built over time, through shared values, proven performance and a mutual understanding of what it takes to deliver on site. For Glendun Group and Lincom Group, that alignment has been clear from the outset.
For Glendun founder and managing director Cahal Carey, growth has always been about momentum.
“We’re in the hot seat,” Carey said. “We’re employing new staff, we’re getting new machines, we’ve got the right people in the right places. Yeah, we’re ready to go.”
From one 13-tonne digger to a national crushing fleet, the journey has been organic.
“The business originally started with no plan. It just grew organically itself… and I think it’s going to continue to grow organically, whether we want it to or not.”
That growth accelerated when Glendun entered the contract crushing and screening space.
“When we really got into the contract crushing and screening, we just set a benchmark that seemed to be higher than everybody else’s,” Carey said.
“We just continued to win jobs because of our reputation.”
The machines behind the work
Glendun’s journey with Powerscreen began last year with the arrival of its first Maxtrak 1300, a machine that quickly proved itself in the high-pressure world of contract crushing. Built for high-capacity secondary and tertiary crushing, it became a cornerstone of operations: consistent, productive and dependable in demanding conditions.
That early success led to further investment, with two additional Maxtrak 1300 units joining the fleet. Each new cone crusher strengthened Glendun’s ability to scale, take on more complex projects and maintain control over throughput and product quality across a wide range of applications.
More recently, a Maxtrak 1000 was added to enhance operational flexibility. Known for its versatility and efficiency, the unit complements the larger 1300s by allowing operators to fine-tune crushing speed and adapt quickly to different materials and site requirements. Screening capability also expanded with the addition of a Chieftain 2100X, supporting smoother production flow across operations. The latest milestone is the delivery of the Premiertrak 450, a powerful primary crusher that delivers performance in a compact, transport-friendly package.
With this combination of jaw, cone and screening equipment, Glendun can deploy a complete crushing circuit from primary reduction through to final product with speed and control.
“We can set up a full train in a quarry from start to finish within a week,” Carey said. “With each of the quarries we work with, we can crush between 10 and 13,000 tonne every week. There are probably the guts of 140 pieces of equipment now… We have capacity to crush between 100,000 and 120,000 tonnes of rock every week.”
Setting the standard
While equipment is critical, culture remains the foundation.
“The key for the success of Glendun for me has been the staff and the work ethic of the staff,” Carey said. “I can’t do it by myself.”
Glendun’s reputation in the contract market has been built on quality, reliability and safety, values that closely align with Lincom’s approach from the supply side.
Just as importantly, the machines are supported by Lincom’s after-sales service, a consistent presence in Glendun’s operations. From parts availability and servicing to technical advice when it matters most, Lincom’s team helps keep machines running and downtime to a minimum.
Strong supplier relationships remain essential as Glendun continues to scale.
“We’ve got some new machines off those guys this year and we’ve got some more coming again next year.”
With operations across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia, the outlook remains ambitious.
“The sky’s the limit. Get the right people, have the right staff, look after them properly, we can do anything.”
Looking ahead, Glendun and Lincom are focused on building on what already works: investing wisely, maintaining equipment properly and continuing to deliver efficient, reliable crushing solutions. •
