Leading WA manufacturing and engineering company expands with additional Okuma Machining Centre
Leading WA manufacturing and engineering company Adarsh Australia has further expanded its manufacturing facility with the addition of the latest Okuma CNC Vertical Machining Centre.
The new machine, an Okuma Model Genos M660-V-e S15 with OSP-P300MA-H Control joins some seventeen other Okuma machines in this outstanding machining workshop.
Adarsh Australia is a private family business founded in 1995 and is part of a group of companies employing more than 80 personnel. Overall the group offers CNC Machining, Casting and Forging, Fabrication, Wire Cutting and Plastics Manufacturing.
With the company’s long standing recognition in Western Australia for the production of high quality components, it’s not surprising that Adarsh Australia has had a long term relationship with Okuma Australia going back over a period of more than 25 years.
“The performance of the Okuma machines has always been exceptional and the service we receive from Okuma’s WA Branch Manager, John Dale, complements our business strategy of excellent performance, skilled training and quality technical support and advice”, said Adarsh Director Faz Pollard. “The new machine provides us with increased capacity and the ability to expand into larger component manufacturing and new business opportunities,” he said.
Today the company services a diverse range of industries such as mining, defence, sub-sea projects, automotive, agriculture and health. Working closely with biomedical engineers from East Metropolitan Health Services Centre for Implant Technology and Retrieval Analysis the company was involved in the production of high quality face shields for WA’s frontline health workers and is expanding further into the health sector with the on-going COVID -19 pandemic.
With the disruption of supply chains worldwide the reshoring of competitive component manufacturing is being observed and new industries encouraged to retain skills within Australia. Adarsh Australia is playing its part in the training of apprentices with two currently in training and a close working relationship with the local TAFE training colleges.
Skilled operators in the machine shop at Adarsh are excited at the expanded functionality of the new machining centre and the new opportunities this brings for expansion and job security going forward.
The company’s sales today are nationwide with a significant percentage of components going to export via the end clients.
“The future looks secure for this advanced manufacturing company as it looks to expand into additional high quality medical products and with a development project underway into a recycling paper plant to process waste into finished products,” said Okuma Australia’s WA Branch Manager, John Dale.” A trusted and strong long term relationship is so important. At Okuma the reliability, accuracy and fast turnaround times on customers components is something we always strive,” he said.
