McMillan expanding

Major manufacturing milestones for McMillan Engineering Group.

Private engineering business McMillan Engineering Group was formed in 2013 to incorporate Industrial Hydraulic Services and CP Engineering bringing together 50 years of hydraulic design and manufacture and more than 20 years sheet metal and component fabrication. The McMillan Engineering Group (MEG) occupies modern premises of almost 6,000 square metres in Dandenong South, Victoria which is currently being expanded with 1,600 metres in an adjacent factory.

The company currently has six Okuma machines with a seventh due within days. These include a number of CNC Lathes, a Vertical Machining Centre and a double column Machining Centre. “The machining shop is being expanded to bring more component manufacturing in-house and the Okuma machines strengthen our market position as a result of the ultimate precision and on-time deliveries to our clients,” said Managing Director Justin McMillan. “Okuma Australia is close by our plant and their service and back up are second to none and we take full advantage of their commissioning and training for our engineers. Such training is exceptional for our engineers and also our apprentices, one of which has just completed his training and two more are currently being sought,” he said.

“We are in a niche market specialising in major rail and infrastructure projects and highly specialised hydraulic work and we also have a vested interest in components for demolition sheers where precision components are essential,” said Justin. ”Engineers on the floor love the ease of use with the software, the mechanics, repeatability, reliability and quality output of these Okuma machines,” he said.

MEG capabilities include Conventional Lathes, CNC Lathes, Slant Turns, Milling, Laser Cutting, Folding, Honing, Linishing, Drilling, Welding Rolling and Cranes. Covering these capabilities the company is fully accredited ISO 9001:2015, ISO45001:2018,
