Leading Western Australian manufacturing and engineering company Adarsh Australia has further expanded its manufacturing facility with the addition of the latest Okuma CNC vertical machining centre.
Adarsh is a private family business founded in 1995 and is part of a group of companies employing more than 80 personnel. The group offers CNC machining, casting and forging, fabrication, wire cutting and plastics manufacturing. Adarsh enjoys longstanding recognition in Western Australia for its production of high-quality components. Its sales are nationwide with a significant percentage of components going to export via the end clients.
Today the company services a diverse range of industries such as mining, defence, sub-sea projects, automotive and agriculture. It is expanding further into the health sector, having been involved in the production of high-quality face shields for WA’s frontline health workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, working with biomedical engineers from East Metropolitan Health Services Centre for Implant Technology and Retrieval Analysis.
With reshoring of competitive component manufacturing to Australia, Adarsh is playing its part with the training of apprentices. Two are currently in training, and Adarsh has a close working relationship with the local TAFE training colleges.
Adarsh has a longstanding relationship with Okuma Australia going back more than 25 years. Its new machine, an Okuma Model Genos M660-V-e S15 with OSP-P300MA-H Control, joins 17 other Okuma machines in Adarsh’s outstanding machining workshop.
“The performance of the Okuma machines has always been exceptional, and the service we receive from Okuma’s WA Branch Manager John Dale complements our business strategy of excellent performance, skilled training and quality technical support and advice,” says Adarsh Director Faz Pollard. “The new machine provides us with increased capacity and the ability to expand into larger component manufacturing and new business opportunities.”
Skilled operators in Adarsh’s machine shop are excited at the expanded functionality of the new machining centre, and the opportunities it brings for expansion and job security going forward.
“The future looks secure for this advanced manufacturing company as it looks to expand into additional high-quality medical products and with a development project underway into a recycling paper plant to process waste into finished products,” says John Dale. “A trusted and strong long-term relationship is so important. At Okuma, reliability, accuracy and fast turnaround times are something we strive for.”
