Visit AUSTECH 2012 in Sydney from 8 to 11 May

Sydney gears up for AUSTECH 2012

From 8 to 11 May 2012, manufacturers and distributors of production technology will be showcasing the entire spectrum of modern metalworking technology at Austech 2012 in Sydney, and all the signs are that Australia’s leading trade show for this sector comes at the right time. With 70% of exhibition space already booked out, organiser AMTIL (Australian Manufacturing Technology Institute Limited) is confident that improving economic conditions will unleash pent-up demand as hitherto postponed purchase decisions resurge to provide commercial opportunities.

“Refocus on increased productivity and capacity requirements in key end-use markets in the post recession period will push demand for innovative machinery and technology, as manufacturers begin to channel investments for global competitiveness,” says AMTIL CEO Shane Infanti. The diversity of application areas for machine tools ranging from aerospace, automobiles, process industries, wind power generation to mining, would help ensure a further recovery.

“Being present at Austech is an absolute must for all manufacturers of production technology aiming to serve customers in the Australian market and to demonstrate their competence, efficiency and capacity to them,” comments AMTIL Event Manager and Austech organiser Kim Warren. “The same applies to users. They require efficient manufacturing technology, comprehensive engineering skills and good service in order to be competitive.”

Sustainability, efficiency, multitasking, complete machining, automation and process integration will be amongst the show’s overarching themes. To complement the exhibition, the innovateAustralia showcase, which was a huge success in Melbourne this year, will be back in Sydney. Again it will connect visitors with organisations and industry leaders significant to them, inform them of opportunities that exist and what challenges are faced by those successful in the supply chain.

Please visit our dedicated website www.austechexpo.com.au, which provides exhibitors and visitors with an online forum tailored to their needs, including easy online registration and stand booking information, a list of exhibitors, as well as the latest related news and floor plans.

The future of manufacturing lies in innovation

Julia Gillard has urged Australian manufacturers to embrace innovation as a means to grab their share of the mining boom and pledged $1.2 million in grants to help link them to massive new mining projects.

“Encouraging investment in new technology is essential if Australia is to keep pace with international competition,” AMTIL CEO and Austech Exhibition Director Shane Infanti comments. “We need incentive programs like this ICN project developed, and quickly. We have reached a critical time and we need to implement some measures now.”

“Austech plays its part in showcasing the latest technology and provides a stimulus for investment. A government program around accelerated depreciation or another incentive to invest in capital could provide the final key.”

While Australia continues to be globally competitive in the design and manufacturing of products, Mr Infanti continues to say that “we are slowly falling below par in our investment in technology. The GFC, interest rates, access to finance, order uncertainty and the carbon tax have all played a role in creating an environment where confidence and willingness to invest is being eroded.”

The government has an important role to play in reversing this trend, and AMTIL welcomes the Prime Minister’s call she made last month when touring Hofmann Engineering in Perth,....
