Enmin expands into larger premises

For more than 40 years, Victorian-based Enmin has been building custom vibratory and materials handling solutions for a myriad of applications and environments, including Australia’s leading food industry manufacturers.

Increased demand for its products and services has necessitated a move from its existing location to a larger factory in Braeside, Victoria. The new premises are three times the size, allowing Enmin to increase its production capacity, bring more of the manufacturing process in-house and offer a broader range of support services.

“The move to larger premises will allow us to take even more control of the entire project process from the initial sale and design through to fabrication, assembly and testing. The changing global environment has highlighted more than ever the necessity to be in control of all aspects to ensure supply can equal demand,” Enmin General Manager, Anthony Gallaher said.

The move coincides with Enmin expanding into new areas of expertise. This includes project management which covers planning and SAT-Site acceptance testing, equipment installation and ongoing equipment maintenance.

A separate division has also been created for Controls & Automation, capitalising on Enmin’s experience in providing electrical control and automation services for the food and allied industries.

“We carefully review a customer’s automation requirements and then tailor a solution to best match their specification and budget. Systems are designed with future requirements in mind to provide flexible and expandable plants. As well as new build equipment, we can seamlessly integrate controls and automation into new or existing production lines,” Gallaher said.

The new facility has a total area of 2642m², with 1380m² allocated to two factory spaces — one is used for assembly, parts storage, equipment testing and system assembly, while the other is used for manufacturing, fabrication and customer acceptance testing.

Enmin has also been busy working on new product development. The company has recently designed a new range of ‘off the shelf’ modular systems for seasoning, sprinkling, packaging and an in-line blending system. The products can be purchased individually or integrated into an existing or new materials handling system.

“The move to larger premises and all the associated benefits it provides us and our customers is a very exciting time for the business. It demonstrates our commitment to designing and building the finest materials handling equipment made right here in Australia. It represents the next stage in Enmin’s history, or as I like to put it, Enmin 2.0,” Gallaher concluded.
