Having also been appointed as Minister for Innovation and Industry in December 2011, Greg Combet also heard about the ‘smart’ manufacturing occurring at Ampcontrol’s Cameron Park facility.

Mr Combet comments:

“Like many successful small and medium manufacturers in Australia, Ampcontrol is meeting the current economic challenges by embracing innovation as part of their long term strategy.

 “Ampcontrol’s Cameron Park facility is an integral part of its supply chain, for example, ‘smart’ electrical components are made for use in larger equipment assembled at the company’s Tomago plant. Ampcontrol is also well recognised for its iMac monitoring and control system, mining relays and gas detection equipment.

“Their investment in the research, design and production of new technologies means they are well placed to offer solutions to the power, mining and energy sectors, allowing smarter supply, decreased costs and safer workplaces.”
