- Eagle Farm manufacturer Tough Gear Trading secures $12 million in new United Arab Emirates orders.
- Queensland‑made 4x4 accessories now sold in more than 30 countries.
- The Crisafulli Government is delivering a fresh start for Queensland businesses and a better lifestyle through a stronger economy.
The Crisafulli Government is delivering real outcomes for Queensland businesses, with Eagle Farm manufacturer Tough Gear Trading securing $12 million in new export orders from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The result reflects a disciplined and focused approach to trade, delivering support for Queensland exporters in priority markets and making sure that taxpayers' money is directed toward activity that delivers measurable returns.
Tough Gear Trading is a family‑owned Queensland manufacturer designing and producing Australian‑made 4x4 accessories for military, mining, armoured, fleet and retail customers.
The company now exports to more than 30 countries, supporting skilled local jobs and contributing to Queensland's growing advanced manufacturing capability.
The Crisafulli Government has reset Queensland's trade approach, prioritising markets where Queensland businesses can compete and win, and replacing unpredictable overseas activity with clear strategy, accountability and commercial outcomes.
Under the former Labor Government, exporters faced unclear pathways into key markets and inconsistent international engagement, leaving businesses to navigate complex global environments largely on their own.
Minister for Finance, Trade, Employment and Training, Ros Bates, said the export win demonstrated the difference a business‑led, outcomes‑driven approach can make.
"Queensland manufacturers like Tough Gear Trading do the hard work of competing internationally," Minister Bates said.
"Our responsibility is to make sure government support is targeted, effective and delivers value for taxpayers, not overseas trips without outcomes.
"This renewed approach to trade strengthens local manufacturing, supports jobs and gives businesses the confidence to invest and grow."
Founder Gary Turner said the company's success is driven by capability, innovation and adaptability.
"We export a comprehensive range of 4x4 accessory products including recovery gear, suspension systems, leisure accessories and specialised vehicle security applications," Mr Turner said.
"Our strength lies in our ability to adapt and deliver. We offer full-spectrum capabilities, sourcing, manufacturing and project-managing tailored solutions for complex, coordinated fleet deployments across borders."
