Peering into the future of Australian manufacturing

The face of Australian manufacturing has changed dramatically over the past few years. With the recent closures of key industry players, ripples of home grown manufacturing dying out continue to spook firms and increase media hype.

Though the threat of closure is an element businesses need to be aware of, long standing manufacturers should not be so quick to throw in the towel and instead see this as an opportunity to ground their foundations of what once was a booming industry.

Successful manufacturing comes from seeking innovation, opportunities and new methods to take the process to the next level and evolve with the trade. ACO Polycrete, a family owned and run drainage manufacturer established themselves in 1946 and have been developing products for over 50 years in the construction industry. As a business they recognise the importance of continuing this building block of their company through expanding globally, "It's about a change of mindset from Australia as a whole, the government and manufacturers. We need to get behind Australian manufacturing and continue to grow" says John Sordo, Head of Marketing and Product Management. "We saw Australia as a prime location to manufacture in the 1980's and stick by our decision to expand globally here as we have continued to do so over the past 30 years."

ACO Polycrete has further shown their investment in Australian based manufacturing by recently opening a new steel production area within their Emu Plains site which they have occupied since 2004. Dedicated to developing this section of their business, they aim to manufacture and market products for the inside of commercial buildings as well as outside.
