This is the biography of a remarkable man, a Tasmanian. A man who started from scratch, defied the odds, and built an internationally successful business in spite of the obstacles. He is a former diesel fitter, who turned his hand to designing and manufacturing some of the world’s best anchoring and mooring systems. Robert John Muir wasn’t destined to be just another small time Australian manufacturer, he was destined for greatness in this globally competitive world. He learnt his trade, started small, and slowly built the business of Muir Engineering to take on the world s best. He took them on in their own backyards, in the United Kingdom, the USA, and Asia, and slowly, year by year, he beat them at their own game. This is the story of John Muir’s life, and how he winched the world from down under.
