Celebrating Victorian manufacturing

Outerspace’s product development team, joined Victoria’s world class manufacturing industry at the 22nd Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame Awards.

A celebration of manufacturing excellence, this yearly networking event, brings together leaders in manufacturing across the safety and security; industrial equipment; medical and scientific; automotive; defence; and advanced manufacturing sectors.

As collaborators in manufacturing and partners in product design and development, our team shared industry insights and achievements with fellow guests.

2024 Leader in Manufacturing, Knoxfield-based Stahl Metall, was inducted into the Hall of Fame. A recognition of their commitment to quality control and excellence in making customised harness assemblies and electrical enclosure boxes.

Krueger Transport Equipment founder John Krueger, was added to the Honour Roll for Service to Industry, and Catten Industries co-owner Latinka Cubbitt won the Woman Manufacturer of the Year award for her significant contributions to the precision sheet metal fabrication industry.

North Melbourne-based social enterprise Assembled Threads was awarded the Manufacturer of the Year (Small Business), while CSL took home the Manufacturer of the Year (Large Business) and Leader in Health Technologies awards.

Three new categories were introduced this year to recognise leaders in Textile, Clothing and Footwear, Construction Technologies and Gender Equality and Inclusion.

The evening also marked the launch of the Making it equal: Victoria’s Women in Manufacturing Strategy, which will support better recruitment, retention and advancement of Victorian women in the manufacturing industries where they’ve traditionally been underrepresented..
