Founded by brothers Peter and Wayde Salfinger in 1993, Immersive has 130 staff and lifted annual sales last financial year to $24.1 million, according to accounts lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. MTS is a registered training organisation with a history of providing quality training to the mining and civil industries on mobile plant. In future it will be known as Immersive Operator Training.
