Challenging is perhaps the most common descriptive for 2020 around the globe. While it has been a difficult year for many in the manufacturing sector, we’re fortunate to have been able to continue offering our diverse manufacturing solutions for clients in the aerospace, medical, mining and defence sectors. From COVID-19 to incredible collaborations, here’s what the Romar Engineering team has been up to in 2020.

Romar’s expert manufacturing solutions are the result of decades of experience and an exceptional in-house team. Our expertise is a drawcard for our customers in mining, manufacturing, aerospace and defence – and it’s one reason we regularly welcome outstanding engineering students as interns. Hayden McLaughlin is the latest to join us and discover that access to industry leaders and state-of-the-art technology has its benefits.

At Romar, we rely on decades of traditional manufacturing experience, plus specialised capability across areas including advanced manufacturing, elastomers, silicone and medical device manufacturing. Our expertise helps us create tailored manufacturing solutions that meet specific client objectives, and one method we employ is finite element analysis (FEA). Here’s what that involves and why it’s crucial for cost-effective and efficient manufacturing.

Romar Engineering’s world-class team of material engineers implicitly understand silicone properties – and that expertise is key to delivering our tailored and first-class silicone manufacturing solutions. Silicone’s numerous properties align it with a variety of commercial uses across sectors including medical, mining and aerospace. Why choose silicone for your manufacturing project? These are some of the key benefits.

Romar is delighted to once more be part of an award-winning program, as the manufacturing partner for Rapid Repair, a medical device developed by Southern Cross University’s Dr Rosemary Craig and Dr Nedeljka Rosic, with business partner Gerard Criss. This innovative wound healing technology may soon be elevated into orbit, thanks to an incredible win at NASA’s global iTech competition.

Advanced manufacturing is central to the future of smart, strategic and globally competitive Australia industries. As sectors including aerospace continue to boom, it’s clear that there is great potential for those Australian manufacturers that embrace cutting-edge technology and processes. Technology is just one strand of high-quality and effective manufacturing, however. Here’s what else makes Romar your ideal partner for innovative and effective advanced manufacturing solutions.

Australia has a long history of innovative manufacturing – from backyard icons like the Hills Hoist to globally utilised devices like the ultrasound scanner, the bionic ear and the black box flight recorder. To ensure we’re equipped to meet future industry needs, Romar has spent several years investing in world-leading technology and expertise. Here’s how we’re leading in advanced manufacturing… and why innovation is key to smart manufacturing solutions.

Romar has been delivering exceptional manufacturing solutions for decades – and we remain a leader in Australian manufacturing, thanks to our innovation, expertise and adaptability. Robust manufacturing solutions require proficiency across manufacturing techniques – and quite a bit more. This is our guide to what to look for in a manufacturing partner for an effective, industry-specific and globally orientated manufacturing solution.

At Romar, we’ve been providing comprehensive manufacturing solutions for close to 50 years, so we implicitly understand manufacturing processes, materials, technology… and trends. So what to expect beyond 2020? In addition to emerging technology, the future of advanced manufacturing is likely to see an increased awareness and uptake of innovative technologies such as additive manufacturing – and a wider shift in industry practices to embrace collaboration and customised manufacturing solutions.

As a leading turnkey manufacturer, Romar has proven manufacturing processes that start with expert analysis and extend through design for manufacture, material selection, commercial manufacturing plus logistics and distribution. There are several reasons why a turnkey manufacturer is the optimum choice for high-quality, compliant and cost-effective manufacturing solutions. Here are our top four.
