Moreton Hire successfully delivered its largest US project to date with the design and construction of the Australian Pavilion at the Sea‑Air‑Space Expo in Maryland, United States of America. Commissioned by Team Defence Australia (TDA), this year’s pavilion also marked Team Defence Australia’s first collaboration with the Australian Submarine Agency (ASA) at an International trade show, working closely with both teams to bring a unified national presence to life.

Across three days, the pavilion became a high‑traffic hub for international engagement, hosting continuous meetings and serving more than 2,500 Australian coffees to delegates and visitors. The project also provided an important capability‑building opportunity for our team, with Australian staff joining the onsite delivery to gain hands‑on experience in major global exhibitions, complex logistics, and international client engagement.

Moreton Hire’s growing global capability and our commitment to supporting Australia’s defence industry on the world stage is highlighted by our continuous work with Team Defence Australia. We extend our thanks again to TDA, Austrade, ASA, our partners, suppliers, and the entire Moreton Hire global team for another seamless international execution.

Experience is Everything.
