Welcome to this special episode of @AuManufacturing Conversations with Brent Balinski, one which we're running as part of our quest to identify Australia’s 50 Most Innovative Manufacturers.
The 50 Most Innovative is an annual campaign by @AuManufacturing. This time around it has been made possible through the generous support of MYOB, CSIRO, and the NSW government’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Facility.
In this episode, Faz Pollard, Director at Adarsh Australia, tells us about the sometimes-underappreciated place of production within manufacturing, the need to take care of our own waste, and more.
