Nine manufacturers across Victoria are getting the support they need to expand operations and take their business to the next level using grants of up to $250,000 through the Made in Victoria – Manufacturing Growth Program.
The funding will make it easier for small and medium-sized manufacturers to introduce new technologies and processes, improve productivity and competitiveness in local and global supply chains, upskill workers and create more highly-skilled jobs.
With the recipients based across Victoria and operating across a variety of sectors including food and beverage, construction, and packaging and transport, this program is helping secure a bright future for our local manufacturing sector.
Among the recipients is family-owned business in Carrum Downs which will significantly upgrade its liquid manufacturing capabilities – helping the company grow its workforce by more than 40 per cent and expand its exports across the Asia Pacific.
Victoria’s $33.5 billion manufacturing industry is a driving force of the state’s economy, made up of over 23,000 businesses, supporting more than 260,000 jobs and exporting goods worth $23.9 billion.
