In 1981, Stewart Wright founded 'Digga' in Australia specialising in the supply, repair and maintenance of earth auger equipment. Manufacturing began in 1982. In 1997 Digga started exporting overseas to New Zealand and Europe and in late 1999 to the USA. Proudly flying the Aussie flag, Digga is 100% Australian owned and operated and boasts the ability to manufacture up to 95% of its product in house. With the release of a revolutionary new productivity/safety device in 2002, SCS (swing control system), Digga plans to expand manufacturing operations even further in the coming years. Today Digga employs over 115 full time staff, and is active in securing further export business following its success so far in the USA, Europe and New Zealand.

Digga produces a world-class planetary drive gearbox. With only 5 years of Gearbox production in place, Digga has become Australia's largest manufacturer of Planetary gearboxes. Also included in Digga's range of attachments are a full range of trenchers, augers, brooms, aluminium ramps, pallet forks and one man boring machines.

Digga's new State of the Art 7706sqm facility in Yatala on the Gold Coast has now completed. Digga purchased 8 acres of land in December 2003 in Octal Street, Yatala with the assistance of the State Government. The new facility has factory space of 6500sqm and office/showroom floor space of 1209sqm. Digga has the ability to expand the factory to 16,000sqm over the coming years. Over $1 million of new equipment capital has been allocated to expand Diggas advanced manufacturing machinery. A new High Def Dual Bed Plasma and 2 new CNC Machining Centres are already on order.
