So what is advanced manufacturing? While it’s sometimes the focus, whiz bang technology is just one aspect of high-quality and effective advanced manufacturing. Here’s how Romar’s specialist in-house team of additive, biomedical, materials and manufacturing engineers – and our industry knowledge acquired over 50 years – helps deliver robust, innovative and globally-oriented advanced manufacturing solutions.

Romar is an expert in diverse manufacturing solutions and we’re the leader in bespoke silicone solutions. Our silicone expertise includes medical grade silicone, silicone molding and fluorosilicone – which has particular benefits for the aerospace, industrial and auto industries. To understand whether it’s the best option for your project, it’s important to understand its material characteristics.

Romar has the capability and expertise to deliver first-class prototype development and scalable manufacturing solutions for highly regulated industries. With expertise across multiple manufacturing strands including elastomers and silicone, and with advanced manufacturing capability unique to Australia, we’re able to provide fast, effective and efficient manufacturing solutions ideal for the defence industry.

The medical industry is just one sector that is exploring advanced manufacturing techniques and processes to enable faster and more cost-effective medical device manufacturing… and innovative solutions. As a leader in medical grade silicone, medical device manufacturing and additive manufacturing, Romar has robust capability for customised, commercially robust and compliant manufacturing across diverse medical applications.

As a turnkey manufacturer, Romar looks after every stage from design for manufacture through to logistics and distribution. While we lead in innovative and commercially robust manufacturing solutions, we are not product designers. We come on board when a project is manufacturing ready. Here’s what that means.

With over 50 years’ experience, Romar is at the forefront of traditional and advanced manufacturing in Australia. While the mining sector is slowly embracing new technologies including drones and autonomous vehicles, additive manufacturing is still largely untapped… and it’s an area with perhaps the strongest potential for the sector.

Aerospace was one of the first industries to readily adopt 3D printing to create complex parts with innovative, high-tech and high-performance materials. With Australia’s aerospace sector booming, Romar is ideally positioned to offer additive manufacturing solutions across the sector, thanks to our industry-leading team and singular technology.

Diverse manufacturing capability is a Romar Engineering hallmark, and a core part of our capability across elastomers, silicone, precision moulding, medical device manufacturing and additive manufacturing, is expansive materials expertise. At Romar, we commonly work with nitrile rubber, and here we explain its benefits and common manufacturing applications.

Romar Engineering is a leader in Australian manufacturing, and we’ve established our position by committing to transformative technologies and remaining open to collaborative potential. By working with pioneering companies across Australia in areas including aerospace and medical, we’re part of exciting projects that showcase Romar’s unique expertise… and the benefits of synergy between like-minded Australian manufacturers.

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.
