Electronex 2025

In the spirit of Make Stuff Here, Australia’s Electronics Manufacturing Tradeshow, Electronex, is on again from 7 – 8 May 2025. It is running alongside Australian Manufacturing Week which is also in the spirit of Make Stuff Here.

Attendance is free for both trade shows but you should register in advance. You can do that online for both Australian Manufacturing Trade Shows.

We are exhibiting at Electronex and I will be giving 2 seminars which are also free to attend:

  • Designing an Electronics product for profitable manufacture in Australia
  • Avoiding EMC issues and simple tests you can do yourself

Manufacturing is critical to Australia’s future

So why is it that manufacturing is critical to Australia’s future? There are several good reasons. Manufacturing:

  1. Creates fundamental value
  2. Creates a lot of jobs in the manufacturers
  3. Even more jobs in the industries around the manufacturers
  4. Spreads wealth through a community more evenly than any other industry because it creates those jobs at every level

Manufacturing is a great industry for all those reasons and because products Made In Australia are well made products. Brand Australia is highly valued overseas.

Did you know that there are currently 1M direct full time jobs in Australian Manufacturing?

Well there are. And with the indirect jobs around those direct jobs, Australian Manufacturing is the most critical employment generating sector in the current Australian Economy. Just checked on Seek and they showed 14,059 vacancies in Australian Manufacturing jobs across Australia today.

According to S&P Global Manufacturing PMI Australia has just had the strongest 3 months of economic growth of the past 2 years and they were consecutive months with the trend increasing. Numbers above 50 represent growth.

I’m pretty happy with that and am looking forward to the upward trend continuing.

Electronex 2024 – Celebrating Australian Electronics Manufacturing

This year in Sydney we are again celebrating Australian Electronics Manufacturing at Electronex 2024.

We are exhibiting at stand B22 and I will be giving 2 of the free seminars covering:

  • Selecting A Wireless Communications Technology
  • Onshoring Your Electronics Manufacturing Back To Australia

These will both be practical “how to” sessions with examples and case studies.

 

And this is a particularly significant year for us as we are still designing electronics products that are intended to be Made in Australia, but we now have a Electronics Manufacturing factory of our own. We are not trying to take business from the already existing and excellent Australian Contract Electronics Manufacturers (CEMs) but we are looking at supporting the early stage and small scale clients who don’t yet have a significant volume of business. As well as significantly improve our Electronics Prototyping capability for the R&D projects we undertake.

 

Which also means we are now signed up to the Australia Made campaign in the Australian Made and Owned category!

You can check out our new SMT line in action at Automated SMT PCB Assembly with a video of our new line in action.

We are hoping you can drop in and say hello to us at Stand B22 at Electronex 2024 and also see some of the other excellent Australian suppliers and manufacturers who will also be there as one of the more than 90 Electronex 2024 Exhibitors.

Australia Made Awards 2023

Australia Made Awards 2023

This year we are again winners in the APAC insider Australian Made Awards. This time for our manufacturing of electronics products in Australia. We were awarded the Best Complex Electronics Manufacturer 2023.

Best Complex Electronics Manufacturer 2023

Each year APAC insider magazine look at which businesses impress them in a range of industry sectors. The Australian Made Awards focus on businesses that make products in Australia. The high mix of electronic product types we design and make coupled with the level of technical complexity involved got us the win this year.

This is a particularly pleasing win after being a finalist in the Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame Awards in August 2023 and an finalist in the IoT Health Award category at IoT Impact 2023. And for those following recent news we have set up a dedicated Electronics Manufacturing facility in Dandenong South so this is a very timely win given our expanding Electronics Manufacturing capacity.

We are also pretty pleased with this recognition for products that are Made in Australia. Complex Electronic Products is our space and this is what makes them profitable and commercially defensible to manufacture in Australia.

Last year we were awarded Best Complex Electronic Product Business 2022 which was focused on our Electronics Design capability.

The trophy is already here and we will update this post once the official web page updates come through at APAC insider.

Successful Endeavours exists to change the Australian economy by solving complex challenges through Electronics Design and Embedded Software Development with the resulting solutions then being Made in Australia. We believe that local jobs and local value creation are important for the future of the Australian economy. And the COVID-19 Pandemic has certainly shown us all how true that is.
