Innovation and technology bring jobs to Shepparton Technology is changing the scope and means of manufacturing in a competitive world and keeping ahead of current best practice is a force to be reckoned with.

ver the past couple of years, local engineering firm JMAR Engineering have been adding to their range of machinery capabilities putting them in a position where they can offer services in Shepparton that once would have been assigned to metropolitan firms. JMAR Engineering managing director, Mark Hooper said, “We have recently invested in a new 8kW Fiber laser cutting machine that gives us a significant advantage. It was a choice between two sizes and the bigger machine was only marginally more expensive, but it gives us room to grow in the future.” Primarily engaged as a business-
to-business service, JMAR provide component parts to other local engineering companies and little of what they make appears in the open market. “We are currently producing component parts for a new three-wheeled vehicle that will go into service delivering parcels Australia wide in the near future. In itself, when it comes about it has the potential to become the largest Australian vehicle manufacture of volume at this time. “A major part of our work is supplying to the construction industry, various plates that end up buried in concrete in one form or another. We have supplied components to all the major projects happening in the region,

The company has recently expanded their workspace to accommodate the new larger laser cutter as well as a new 300 tonne 4 metre break press
that can fold heavy sections of steel plate as required. “As a service company, for some of our larger clients, they have given over to just-in-time supply rather than maintain millions of dollars of machine components in stock and will call on us to provide
a manufactured replacement item in a matter of days.” JMAR offer a wide range of CNC turning and machining in addition to cutting sheets of steel with their fibre laser and high-definition plasma cutting.
