Albury serves as an administrative centre for the agricultural communities around the district and is a major processing centre of the [[Australian Taxation Office]], and many other smaller secondary industries. Other large employers are: The Commercial Club Albury and [[Hume Bank]]. One of Albury's major employers was DSI Holdings. Originally the Kaitlers Road facility was opened as an expansion for [[Borg-Warner]] in 1971, manufacturing gearboxes for various manufacturers including [[Ford Australia|Ford]], [[Holden]] and even [[Maserati]]. At its peak in 1982 it employed 1251 people. The ownership of the plant changed several times – it was sold in 1987 to [[Nylex]]. It was sold again in 2002 to ION Ltd but the company collapsed in 2004 with debt to creditors of $550&nbsp;million. Due to a failed deal with Holden the workforce was reduced to 750 people. Chinese car manufacturer [[Geely Group]] then purchased the bankrupt DSI company for $48&nbsp;million in March 2009 and the plant then exported automatic transmissions to Geely, [[KG Mobility|Ssangyong]] and [[Mahindra & Mahindra|Mahindra]]. In 2014 DSI Holdings closed the Lavington factory resulting in the loss of the remaining 142 jobs.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Jones|first1=Howard|title=10 years of hard labour but DSI still ends in tears |department=Opinion |url=http://www.bordermail.com.au/story/2320340/10-years-of-hard-labour-but-dsi-still-ends-in-tears-opinion/ |newspaper=The Border Mail |access-date=20 March 2015}}</ref>
