National Manufacturing Week 2016

This year we are back in Sydney at Sydney Olympic Park for National Manufacturing Week 2016.

And again we are supporting the Casey Cardinia Region. This year we are in stand 2216 which is a lot more central that 2 years ago.

So if you are thinking of dropping in to the exhibition then please come and say hello. Melbourne might be the manufacturing capital of Australia, but there are still a large number of significant manufacturers in Sydney including a growing biomedical device manufacturing cluster. And we have clients in Sydney and so are hoping to catch up with some of them.

 

We are also 3D Printing in house now and so I’m personally interested in what is happening with 3D Printing and will be checking out that part of the exhibition.

Endeavour Awards 2015

The same week the winners are being announced for the Endeavour Awards 2015, we are finalists with 3 of our development projects and will find out on 28th May 2015 who the winners are. This is another great celebration of Australian manufacturing success stories. We have booked a full table. Having been to the awards ceremony before, it is such a positive experience to be in a room full of people who are trying to be part of the solution rather then part of the problem. And let’s face it, some of the issues we face today will need quite a few positive focused and capable people to solve.

Wish us luck with the awards.

As part of National Manufacturing Week, Manufacturing Monthly run the Endeavour Awards to celebrate Australian manufacturing success stories. Last year we were a finalist for the Technology Application of the Year. This year we are very excited to announce that we are finalists in two categories and in one of those, we have two separate products that are both finalists. That sounds a bit complicated. What it means is that we are listed three times as a finalist. The categories are:

 

  • Australian Industrial Product of the Year – ABB CQ930 3 phase power factor correction controller
  • Australian Industrial Product of the Year – IoT Monitoring Platform
  • IT Application of the Year – Telemetry Host IoT web platform

 

IoT of course stands the the Internet of Things.

 

The official Manufacturing Monthly announcement is at Endeavour Awards 2015 Finalists.

 

The Endeavour Awards ceremony is being held at the The Crown Casino Melbourne in the River Room on 28 May 2015. We hope to have even more good news on the night.

And we also have a couple of logos we can use to promote our finalist position, and of course, the Endeavour Awards themselves.

Manufacturers’ Monthly Endeavour Awards Finalists 2014

Manufacturers’ Monthly Endeavour Awards 2014

I recently spotlighted the Endeavour Awards which are held on the first evening of National Manufacturing Week. This is where we celebrate manufacturing success stories each year. What I didn’t mention at the time was that we had entered this year for the first time.

 

The awards are run by Manufacturers’ Monthly who also select the categories, finalists and ultimately the winners. They were first held in 2007. We have already been asked a few times if they were named after us. And the answer is that this is a pure coincidence. So a nice synchronicity but no relation.

 

Technology Application of the Year

We have just received the news that we are finalists in the category of Technology Application of the Year. The technology we put forward was our Production Test Technology that allows us to put in place product test end of line equipment at as little as 5% of the cost of other approaches that are more commonly used. This is one way we help Australian Electronics Manufacturers to be able to have a cost competitive product that is still Made in Australia.

We were already going to National Manufacturing Week to support Casey Cardinia Region who are exhibiting this year. We are exhibiting with them.

The full list of finalists is available at Endeavour Awards 2014 Finalists. There were a record 138 entries this year.

 

We won’t know the final outcome until 13th May 2014 when the Endeavour Awards Presentation Dinner is held at the Ivy Ballroom in Sydney. Either way we already feel like winners.

 

Wish us luck.

National Manufacturing Week 2014

National Manufacturing Week

Each year during National Manufacturing Week we have the opportunity to celebrate and explore Australian Manufacturing. It alternates between Sydney and Melbourne and in 2014 it is being held in Sydney from May 13-16 at the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park.

From the messages in the press recently, you would think that manufacturing in Australia is dead. But the truth is a long way from that. Recent announcements from the Automotive Manufacturing sector are disappointing but that is not the only manufacturing we do here. Manufacturing is the equal third largest sector of the Australian economy and the largest sector in Victoria. The sector it is equal in size to is mining. That’s right, the same size as mining!

 

So it is worth looking after a little better than we have been.

 

It kicks off on the 13th May 2014 with the exhibition followed by a networking function and the Endeavour Awards gala dinner. This year we entered the awards so are hoping to have some news about that soon.

 

The National Manufacturing Week networking event this year is being sponsored by the Casey Cardinia Region which is where Successful Endeavours is located. This is a very progressive venture between the City of Casey and the Shire of Cardinia. and a great example of the collaboration we need to become a lot better at in Australia. We are also a member of the Casey Cardinia Business Group which is one of their strategic initiatives.

We will be going to National Manufacturing Week this year and hope you will consider it too. If you haven’t been before, you might be pleasantly surprised at both the breadth and depth of Australian Manufacturing.
