The used machinery business brought with it many opportunities for Index including the purchase of a manufacturing and used machinery business and property in Auckland in 1989 and the assets of a silica sand processing plant in Tasmania in 1991.
Index also operated their own twin engine pressurized Cessna for a number of years allowing Ross and later Jeff to travel widely, mainly in relation to used equipment purchases, often installed in remote locations throughout Australia. For example, Ross bought the complete Narbalek uranium mine processing plant in NT in the early 1990’s for dismantling, relocation to storage and resale as individual components over the ensuring the years.
