Tasmanian Minerals, Manufacturing and Engineering Council
For years, the story of our industries was told with hard hats and hi-vis. But there’s more to us than this.
For generations our mills, our factories, our workshops and our processors thrived. What we made here was proudly sent to the mainland and around the world. But prices declined, our competitors reduced costs, increased the scale of production, our isolation became a barrier and our industry suffered.
But we didn’t let our industries wither and die.
Instead, we invented and reinvented. We tapped into a spirit that embraces where we live. That uses our remote and rugged landscape and our isolation as an asset. We embraced a way of ‘thinking and doing’ that isn’t based on volume – It’s based on quality and inventiveness.
Now… something made in Tasmania is lighter, stronger, safer, smarter, more durable, more beautiful, more delicious. And among the most mineral-rich places on the planet, we’ve become a workshop for ingenuity, efficiently processing minerals critical for the future, and creating solutions to help the world reduce its carbon footprint.
Our actions will:
- Improve safety, health and wellbeing outcomes for members, their employees, contractors and suppliers and the communities in which we operate.
- Continually reduce adverse impacts from our processes, products, and historical legacies on the environment.
