AMA, Australian Manufacturing Association operates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide & Darwin due to these capital cities close proximity to ports & rail infrastructure. Australia is a continent & all continents should have a diversified manufacturing sector. When you import goods from overseas you use alot of valuable energy resources, energy resources which should be conserved for future generations. Yes they say manufacturing should compete on a global scale but a more energy efficient form would be to say that manufacturing should compete on a continental scale so as to omit the over use of energy resources when you transport goods overseas on ships. AMA, Australian Manufacturing Association is a multicultural association that operates in two languages, english & mandarin. AMA, Australian Manufacturing Association members often travel overseas & use technologies like the internet to keep up with the lastest state of the art manufacturing process's all round the world, these international state of the art manufacturing process's are modified to develop generic manufacturing process's & manufacturing technologies just for the Australian continent.
