As a leading Australian manufacturer for over 50 years, Romar is acutely aware of the challenges local manufacturers face. A small domestic market and a perception of cheaper manufacturing in nations including Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and China, has traditionally driven much manufacturing offshore. With exciting developments in local sectors such as aerospace and advanced manufacturing, that may be about to change.

Romar has provided quality manufacturing solutions for over 50 years, and it remains a leader in Australian manufacturing, thanks to extensive expertise across areas including advanced manufacturing. Central to our advanced capability is the Lasertec 65 – an outstanding 3D printer with unique additive – and subtractive – capability. The potential of additive and subtractive technology is immense. As understanding of this technology grows, we can likely expect an uptake of innovative hybrid manufacturing solutions across diverse sectors.

As a leading Australian manufacturer, Romar has a highly skilled in-house team with diverse capabilities. We’ve recently welcomed to the team one of our outstanding former interns, Morgan Wagner. Morgan interned with us whilst completing a double degree in engineering and human biology, and we’re delighted to welcome him back to the fold as a full-time staff member.

As a leader in industrial and advanced manufacturing, Romar benefits from cutting-edge technology and facilities – and we enjoy fruitful collaborations with national partners. Most recently, we were invited to join the NOTUS Emergency Invasive Ventilator Program, a Grey Innovation led initiative supported by the Australian Government, Victorian Government and Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre.

Romar Engineering has long had a global reputation for our elastomeric and medical device manufacturing, and we’ve recently expanded our capability in advanced manufacturing in exciting ways. Our capability now has enormous potential for the aerospace industry, and we’re very pleased to have showcased this in the most recent issue of Space OUTLOOK.

With leading expertise across elastomers, silicone, precision moulding, medical device manufacturing and additive manufacturing, Romar Engineering understands materials implicitly. Materials expertise is perhaps one of the lesser known aspects of manufacturing – but it is central to exceptional and innovative manufacturing solutions.

There’s no doubt that the last two months have been a challenging time. The global impact of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) is enormous however thanks to expertise across multiple areas including medical device manufacturing, silicone, elastomers and additive manufacturing, we are very pleased to report that Romar Engineering is still operating… and able to support our clients with agile and efficient manufacturing solutions.

Alan Lipman, CEO, and Steve Milanoski, Head of Advanced Manufacturing at Romar Engineering, recently attended the 9th Australian Space Forum in Adelaide. Held on Wednesday 19 February, it was an excellent opportunity for Romar to make connections and showcase our skills in the Australian space ecosystem.

Elastomers are highly specialised materials – that are surprisingly pervasive. As a global leader in elastomers, Romar Engineering excels in creating elastomeric solutions for the medical, aerospace, mining and industrial sectors. Practical applications are extensive… so much so that elastomers are all around us.

Romar Engineering is respected worldwide for our industry-leading expertise and tailored manufacturing solutions. We’ve long excelled in industrial engineering and medical device manufacture, and more recently we’ve added to our capability in exciting ways. We’re delighted that this has been recognised in the most recent issue of leading industry magazine, Manufacturers’ Monthly.
