In June 1965, Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, carried H. K. Porter Company's word that "Construction is underway for Porter-Australia's new automotive friction materials plant," in an industrial park 30 miles west of Sydney.1 The company said the plant "will produce brake linings, clutch facings and other automotive products marketed under the Thermoid tradename"; no source here says when, or whether, it opened.1
