National Plastics & Rubber (NPR) is pleased to announce the appointment of Remote Global Pty Ltd as our official distributor for Papua New Guinea. This partnership marks a significant step forward in our commitment to improving safety and productivity in mining and industrial operations across the South Pacific.
Founded by Daniel Lewis in 2010, Remote Global has built a strong reputation as a trusted procurement and supply chain partner across PNG and neighbouring regions. With centralised capabilities for worldwide procurement and logistics, they are uniquely positioned to support the efficient supply of NPR’s Australian-made safety solutions including Stacko™ cribbing blocks, FloorDefenda™, MineChock™, HoseMate™, and our range of Dozer and Haul Truck maintenance tools.
Leading the partnership on the ground is Nick van Pooss, General Manager of Remote Global and CEO of its training arm, Rescue Group Services (RTO #45803). With a state-of-the-art training facility in Lae, PNG, Rescue Group Services will play a critical role in upskilling local workforces on the safe and effective use of NPR equipment. Tailored training modules and practical demonstrations will ensure that NPR’s certified products are implemented properly to reduce risk and equipment downtime in demanding field conditions.
“We’re always looking to connect PNG businesses with quality suppliers who offer real value,” said Daniel Lewis, Director of Remote Global.
“By focusing on our strengths and partnering with companies like NPR, we’re helping improve safety, reliability, and performance across PNG’s industrial sector, while supporting the communities these industries sustain.”
“This partnership is more than product supply, it’s about capability-building,” added Malcolm Davies, International Sales Manager at National Plastics & Rubber. “With Remote Global’s regional expertise and training infrastructure, we’re confident this will raise the standard of safety and maintenance support available to PNG mining and heavy industry operators.”
Through this strategic alliance, NPR and Remote Global are positioned to deliver locally supported, technically sound, and logistically reliable safety solutions to the PNG market, all backed by training, after-sales service, and a commitment to long-term partnerships.
