Exciting news today for the Australian manufacturing industry as the Australian Stainless Steel Development Association (ASSDA) joins CastAbout as an endorsement partner. The association will be actively involved with CastAbout’s continued development as Australia’s most powerful manufacturing database.
Over the last few years, the ongoing effects of globalisation have changed the manufacturing landscape in Australia, resulting in increased offshoring and importing. This has resulted in a decline of Australian manufacturing businesses and therefore Australian capabilities. Unfortunately, this has led to Australia ranking last in the OECD for manufacturing self-sufficiency, due to a significant amount of manufacturing equipment and goods being sourced from overseas.
