The Goulburn upgrades have been awarded $820,000 from the second round of the NSW government's $40 million Regional Job Creation Fund.

Hidrive's CEO, Stan Eagle, said the investment would help the business meet existing and future demand.

"It is always rewarding to add new talent to our amazing team who continue to achieve extraordinary results, and in turn make a positive contribution to Goulburn," Mr Eagle said.

"The new paint finishing line and associated machinery will substantially increase production efficiencies which will result in additional employees in the paint finishing line.

"Additionally, it provides both trades-based and professional career opportunities throughout other areas within the Goulburn facility including manufacturing operations, assembly operations, engineering, and administration."
