AMGC is pleased to release its latest report:
Perceptions of Australian Manufacturing
This report compares 2019 and 2021 survey results, details the Australian public’s perceptions of the manufacturing industry, and highlights what the public believes to be important.
One of AMGC’s key findings is that in 2021 almost three quarters of Australians believe manufacturing is either important or very important to the economy. This is higher than the 2019 result and reflects a renewed appreciation of the value of a strong and advanced manufacturing capability during the COVID-19 pandemic and for Australia’s future.

Australian architects design new steel wall cladding system
Studio Nine (S9) Architects has collaborated with Revolution Roofing to design a series of new architectural steel wall cladding profiles named ‘Nineline’. Born out of a mixture of curiosity and frustration, the idea was borne through a sports project within the S9 office. “Sports architecture is typically clad in a single, cost effective, prefinished material across a large-scale façade — one design move on mass”, says Studio Nine Architects Director, Andrew Steele.
