Martin Albrecht talks about the history of Thiess Pty Ltd.

The Thiess brothers, Les, Bert, Stan, Pat and Cecil, started the business and were both innovators and early adopters of machinery technology. This brought them substantial contracts during Wold War II, laying the foundation for future business success. The major turning point in its history, however, occurred when, as a result of being the first Australian company to be awarded a major works contract on the Snowy Mountains' project, it developed into an engineering company.

The character and culture of Thiess is forever embedded and deeply rooted in its Queensland history. Its success owes much to the remarkable entrepreneurship and " can do" attitude of the Thiess brothers and, later, outstanding leadership of the company by Martin Albrecht AC for nearly a quarter of a century. The company remains headquartered in Queensland.
