We certainly hope so with the Government’s Modern Manufacturing Initiative (MMI) prioritising smart sovereign capability. What’s most exciting about the MMI is that it can help create an equal platform for small, medium and large manufacturers across the six priority sectors. The masters of the bespoke, the IP generators, and the job creators will be our small- and medium-sized companies. The co-investment from the Government for innovation hubs and testing facilities will provide opportunities for collaboration while also protecting differentiating IP. Our experts can help you leverage the opportunities ahead.
Our Manufacturing Growth Benchmarking report is a bespoke overview for companies to see how they measure up against other manufacturers in the current environment. Drawing on a large amount of financial data from 100 Australian mid-sized manufacturers, the report outlines benchmarks and trends, covering a number of areas including but not limited to: sales, gross margins, workforce costs, EBITDA, inventory lock-up, debtor days, debt levels, and return on equity. Our 2021 report will be our 5th edition of this report.
Our Australian manufacturing clients have access to this invaluable benchmark report, so please contact us for more information.

You don’t need to be Google to leverage your insights into tangible assets.

Your organisation is collecting data right now, even if you don't know it. And if you do know what data you have, do you know how to use it?

Manufacturing isn’t just sending “stuff” overseas. It’s generating value at home as well. You will have heard this a lot – “value add”. It isn’t just a gimmick or a slogan. It’s where the economic benefit in production lies. And Australia has an opportunity to ramp this up significantly under the MMI.
