Originally opening in 1989 Emerald Air Starters & Equipment (EASE) was strategically acquired by the Dowdens Group in 2009 to strengthen & diversify the Group’s sale, supply & service capabilities for air operated pneumatic mining equipment & heavy-duty tools to the Bowen Basin & surrounding Central Queensland coal mining regions. Having a dedicated retail space & service workshop in Emerald, as well as the existing Dowdens Group business premises located in Mackay, Rockhampton, Proserpine & Brisbane QLD allowed the workshops to subsequently manage larger workloads, meaning quicker service turnaround times for customers.

Since 2009 EASE have focused on improving our customer service by providing innovative solutions to the surrounding mining, agriculture, contractor, construction & mine services industries. Operating an end-to-end ‘life of the product’ approach to pneumatically operated equipment EASE specialise in increasing the reliability & run time of your assets in turn reducing down time & increasing your business profitability.
