In recent years, the trend of onshoring manufacturing has been on the rise. The growing global economic uncertainty, many Australian businesses are now looking to onshore their manufacturing operations. This shift has been driven by several factors, including rising labor costs in overseas markets, supply chain disruptions, and increasing demand for locally-made products. On-track's latest addition of faster generation Yamaha Compact High-Speed SMT mounters is a testament to this trend, and it provides businesses with a competitive edge in the market.

With the addition of two faster generation Yamaha Compact High-Speed SMT mounters, On-track has doubled its overall SMT mounting capacity in its factory to 123,000cph. This represents a significant boost to the company's manufacturing capabilities, enabling it to offer more competitive prices and faster turnaround times to its customers. Furthermore, the use of high-speed mounters ensures that the quality of the finished product is maintained while the assembly process is accelerated.

The decision to onshore manufacture your products also has several other benefits. Firstly, it helps to create jobs and support the local economy. Secondly, it ensures that businesses have better control over their supply chains, which is critical for ensuring consistent quality and timely delivery. Finally, onshoring can also help to reduce carbon emissions by reducing transportation costs and reliance on overseas manufacturing.

Overall, the addition of two more Yamaha Compact High-Speed SMT mounters to On-track's manufacturing lineups represents a significant step towards supporting the growing trend of businesses moving back to onshoring manufacturing. With the increased capacity and faster turnaround times, businesses can now benefit from onshore manufacturing while remaining competitive in the market. As Australian businesses continue to face uncertain times, it is essential to have reliable manufacturing partners like On-track Technology who can offer cost-effective solutions to support their growth.
