@AuManufacturing<\/em> will moderate a panel discussion on the topic of reshoring at National Manufacturing Week 2019.<\/h6>
The session will be held on day two of the program, on Wednesday May 15. It will feature leaders from three very different manufacturers, each with one thing in common: they have brought or will soon bring production back to Australia.<\/h6>
Why are they doing it? How are they doing it? After years of often-controversial stories about companies sending production overseas for labour saving reasons, why are these manufacturers bring it back home, and could others do the same?<\/h6>
The discussion will feature Ty Hermans from Evolve Group, who is proving Australian companies<\/a> can compete with China even in manufacturing simple plastic parts such as bottle caps.<\/h6>
ACE-EV Group plans to begin assembling carbon fibre-bodied electric cars<\/a> in China this year. Greg McGarvie will share his company\u2019s innovative approach and how it could lead to \u201cassembly pods\u201d for its vehicles within Australia.<\/h6>
Ben Schultz from premium bike company Bastion Cycles will discuss the triggers for bringing additive manufacturing of components back in-house and to Australia.<\/h6>
And finally Mark Peters from the Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre will discuss the group\u2019s research on the advanced characteristics, how they can increase competitiveness, and what support exists for manufacturers looking to reshore.<\/h6>
A summary of the session and speakers bios follow.<\/h6>
It\u2019s time to talk reshoring<\/strong><\/h6>
Wednesday 10:30 am, Industry 4.0 Theatre<\/h6>
Much has been said in recent years about offshoring production for labour cost savings or other reasons, but what about reshoring? Three Australian manufacturers will tell us about what competitive edge they have gained, or will gain, by bringing production back home. What can we learn from them? Find out in this overdue discussion about what\u2019s been called a \u201csilver bullet\u201d for jobs growth in manufacturing.<\/h6>
Moderator: Brent Balinski, Editor, @AuManufacturing<\/em><\/h6><\/div>
Greg McGarvie, Managing Director, ACE-EV Group<\/strong><\/h6>
\"\"Managing Director Greg McGarvie has a background in business, marine education and training sciences. He was instrumental in the early development of a number of regional and international environmental organisations.<\/h6>
Since 2009 his focus with business partner Will Qiang, as GetGreen, has been \u2013 Energy Management Planning \u2013 Low Energy Lighting Solutions \u2013 Utility Scale Solar and Storage \u2013 launching an Electric Vehicle Manufacturing start up in mid 2016 \u2013 utilising disruptive technologies.<\/h6>
ACE-EV Group is set to make its mark on eMobility and recycling strategies new to the mobility industries and critical for minimizing the pollution of an industrialized world.<\/h6>
Ty Hermans, Managing Director, Evolve Group<\/strong><\/h6>
\"\"Ty Hermans is the Managing Director of the Evolve Group \u2013 Australia\u2019s pre-eminent hardware accelerator and product commercialisation facility.<\/h6>
Ty established Evolve in August 2006, starting with his first invention, the Polyslab, a lightweight polymer alternative to heavy concrete slabs, a product that was later sold to a USA private equity firm in 2014. Today Evolve is a culmination of Ty and his teams vast and varied experience in developing and successfully commercialising products on a global basis along with hundreds of other products over the past 12 years.<\/h6>
Evolve\u2019s expertise is turning product ideas and inventions into profitable success stories. Evolve\u2019s focus is developing low risk, highly profitable products that are globally scalable. Evolve\u2019s Brisbane based facility combines their internationally recognised award winning product design & development division and their comprehensive advanced manufacturing division. Who together have over 45 years of experience in the international design, commercialisation, manufacturing and fulfilment business.<\/h6>
Ty is passionate about \u2018no nonsense\u2019 product development with a laser focus on commercialisation, and he is leading the charge in bringing manufacturing back to Australia. Currently Evolve is manufacturing here in Australia more cost effectively than offshore suppliers for their vast customer base. Additionally Evolve has been successfully re-shoring manufacturing to Australia and exporting to more than 128 countries around the world \u2013 a feat they are extremely proud of.<\/h6>
Ben Schultz, Managing Director, Bastion Cycles<\/strong><\/h6>
\"\"Ben Schultz is the co-founder and Managing Director of Bastion Cycles, who produce premium bespoke bicycles in Melbourne.\u00a0Ben and the other Bastion directors hail from the automotive Industry and Toyota R&D. In 2015 they made the decision to combine their passions for advanced engineering and cycling and began designing and manufacturing their bicycles locally in Australia. Their bicycles lead the bicycle industry globally in the application of advanced technologies such as Additive Manufacturing and Filament Winding. The technology enables them to produce completely custom bicycles individually tailored for the customer. Now in its fourth year Bastion Cycles have sold in excess of 150 custom bicycles and frames to over 13 countries worldwide and have just taken the significant step to bring additive manufacturing in-house, in doing so on-shoring the process from the service bureau Rapid Advanced Manufacturing in New Zealand. The move establishes Bastion Cycles as the first bicycle manufacturer in the world to have Additive Manufacturing capabilities in-house.<\/h6>
Mark Peters,\u00a0State\u00a0Director, Queensland and Northern Territory, Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre<\/strong><\/h6>
\"\"Mark Peters joined the Advanced Manufacturing\u00a0Growth Centre (AMGC) in 2017 and is the State\u00a0Director, Queensland and Northern Territory and is\u00a0based near Brisbane.
Mark\u2019s role is to support Queensland and Northern\u00a0Territory manufacturers to transform their business to\u00a0become more globally competitive.<\/h6>
Under Mark\u2019s\u00a0leadership, manufacturers are encouraged to automate\u00a0their manufacturing processes and enter global supply\u00a0chains. He helps companies deliver greater
commercial outcomes through strong collaboration\u00a0with research institutions and lift skills across\u00a0management and the workplace.<\/h6>
In addition, Mark is keen to encourage more\u00a0manufacturing jobs back to Australia. Known as\u00a0\u2018reshoring\u2019, Mark leads a consortium of like-minded\u00a0manufacturers exploring ways to create jobs locally\u00a0through the uptake of technology and the sharing of\u00a0work orders across state borders.<\/h6><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
