ANCA is Australia’s only machine tool
builder. Established 50 years ago by Pat Boland and Pat McCluskey, ANCA
has been manufacturing the machines that manufacture the tools that are
used in CNC machines worldwide and across all industries, to make parts.
In short, ANCA are at the bleeding edge of the manufacturing chain. It
would not be a stretch to say that ANCA have influenced every single
object around you in one way or another.
Based in Melbourne, and employing over 1000 people worldwide, ANCA
believes strongly in Australian Manufacturing. NH Micro is a supplier to
ANCA, and last year I had the pleasure to walk through their
manufacturing facilities in Bayswater North - truly incredible. They are
completely vertically integrated, making and assembling nearly every
component of their machine in-house. This is a level of industrial
strength that you would only see in Japan, Germany, Switzerland and the
US.
Just this weekend, the two Pat’s – Boland and McCluskey, were honoured
by our government, each being presented with the Medal of the Order of
Australia (OAM), in recognition of their achievements in Australian
Manufacturing.
The story of ANCA is far more in-depth than just a few paragraphs here,
and to capture it, the company has filmed a documentary sharing their
journey. It is one of the most inspirational Australian Manufacturing
stories I’ve ever seen. I can highly recommend watching it.
