Aegis Sales & Service Strengthens Western Queensland Gas-Field Presence with Strategic QICR Reseller Agreement
Brisbane, Queensland - Aegis Sales & Service, a premier Honeywell Tier 1 Platinum Partner, has today announced a landmark reseller agreement with Quality Inspection Calibration Roma (QICR).
This partnership is set to significantly enhance safety support and equipment availability across the Western Downs and Maranoa regions, specifically targeting the high-growth gas fields of Western Queensland.
Under the new agreement, QICR will act as an authorised reseller and service provider for Honeywell’s industry-leading BW™ portable gas detection portfolios and a re-seller for the RAE Systems Honeywell product range.
This move bridges a critical geographical gap, providing localised, rapid-response sales and technical support to major operators within the region.
According to Aegis Sales & Service General Manager, Kimberley Nunn is excited about this opportunity that combines local expertise with global standards.
“By partnering with QICR - a Roma-based organisation, Aegis Sales & Service has ensured they will provide a high level quality and service through OEM training with Honeywell alongside our Aegis technicians in our head office in Brisbane” said Ms Nunn.
“Western Queensland’s gas fields and power stations are prominent drivers of the state’s energy sector, yet the logistical challenge of providing immediate, on-site safety service is immense.
“QICR has the local footprint and technical reputation to touch the clients we simply couldn’t reach effectively from our head office. This isn’t just about selling products; it’s about supporting local employment and ensuring every worker in the Maranoa region has access to the world’s best gas detection technology.”
Aegis Sales & Service is recognised as one of Honeywell’s leading partners within Australasia.
This agreement cements that status by expanding Honeywell’s market share in portable gas detection, fixed systems, and process control instrumentation.
QICR, owned by the Coho Group, brings a wealth of industrial experience to the partnership.
As an environmental services leader, Coho Group is a staple in the region, managing oil, waste, and water extraction for major transport fleets and shutdowns.
“This partnership combines Aegis’s massive inventory and Tier 1 Honeywell support with QICR’s intimate knowledge of the Western Downs landscape,” Kimberley added.
“It’s a win for the local economy and a major step forward for site safety in the region.”
