Welding is an enabling technology used across a wide range of industries and applications, from micro joining of medical devices, electronics and photonics to larger scale applications such as mining equipment, boilers and pressure vessels, ships, rail transport and water pipelines.
It encompasses the total life cycle of welded products and structures including design, manufacture, conformity assessment, inspection and testing, operation, maintenance, repair and decommissioning including recycling and other environmental conditions.
Many of the challenges impacting Australian
manufacturing today are not new – high costs, rigid industrial relations laws and, of course, growth in competition from off-shore manufacturers.
If Australia is to grow its welding capability and in turn it’s international competitiveness then we need to improve our performance at all levels.
We have some highly qualified and skilled welding professionals in Australia, but without a steady flow of fabrication work they will disappear overseas or into other trades.
In order to secure the future of manufacturing in Australia, we need determined action from our Governments, industry leaders
and from the communities who depend on the strength of the manufacturing sector for their own future.
The WTIA is committed to ‘On-shoring’ and to improving the competitiveness of Austra-lian manufacturing.
