Marley Flow Control - AMRF Success Story 

[Music]

Kalolo Matavesi

We are at Marley Flow Control. This is the workshop that we build our stainless steel cooling tiles from.

Gareth Jones

We knew where we wanted to go, but we needed to go the next step which was to get cost out of manufacturing improve our manufacturing process.

Maegan Baker

When we first started working with Marley Flow we were really fortunate to be going into a fantastic manufacturing company. They had a great team, and a great product, but to become more competitive on that global scale we needed to figure out how we could best support them.

Nick Hurley

When we're working with the AMRF where they're sort of helping us innovate things.

Maegan Baker

Part of that exploration was looking at how they do business now and really understanding where the greatest impact could be through changes recommended by the AMRF team.

Nick Hurley

Then push it further so we could be pushing it from a small scale to something much larger.

Gareth Jones

Our long-term goal was to take our product internationally. We couldn't do that because we didn't have the production capacity, until the AMRF came to us and made those recommendations.

Nick Hurley

They want to push Manufacturing in Australia, so they're helping us develop this to be even more, I guess you could say, efficient.

Kalolo Matavesi

The majority of us are from Western Sydney, so we kind of all have the same humor and same attitude, so I think that's why we connect really well and work together really well as a crew.

Gareth Jones

Here in Australia we've lost a massive knowledge base of manufacturing. Whether it be personnel, whether it be expertise whether it be machinery -- the AMRF can bring that all back to us.

Nick Hurley

We've had blokes like Nathan and James who actually come from composite backgrounds they know, you know, more than anyone really. We've definitely been teamed up with the right people.

Gareth Jones

All we've seen is cooperation.

Nick Hurley

We're actually the first to deal with them in this manufacturing process they want to do, so yeah they've been nothing, but you know but overly helpful so it's been great.
