The $50 million Manufacturing Transition Programme provides grants to help manufacturing businesses become more competitive and sustainable.

The Programme supports capital investment projects that help businesses:
– move or expand into higher value or niche manufacturing activities
– build skills in higher value and knowledge intensive activities in new or growing markets.

Hunter based engineering firms, Hedweld Engineering and Hofmann Engineering will each benefit from a grant under Round One of the programme.
