In today’s globally competitive market, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) can’t stay ahead without a supply chain that gives them an edge. A well-optimised supply chain is no longer just about cost — it’s a vital source of competitive advantage.

In 2015, after 12 years of running New Zealand’s largest investment casting foundry, we made a bold move: we acquired 100% of the company’s Indian operation, expanding our footprint into Coimbatore, a major manufacturing hub.

With rising input costs, talent shortages, and global competition, Australian OEMs need more innovative strategies to stay ahead. That’s where Malabou Pty Ltd comes in.

Australian manufacturers are under more pressure than ever — supply chains are tightening, competition is increasing, and margins are shrinking.

Since 2014, Malabou has been supporting local OEMs and Industrial Clients in staying globally competitive through the supply of metal components and subassemblies.

The recently concluded India–New Zealand Free Trade Agreement negotiations mark more than a diplomatic milestone — they signal a structural shift in how the two economies can work together.

Canada applies Most Favoured Nation (MFN) tariff rates to India, meaning most industrial metal components and machinery parts enter Canada at low or zero duty — a significant advantage compared with U.S.-sourced parts exposed to changing tariff cycles.

Malabou partner with Original Equipment Manufacturers to achieve a competitive advantage through the outsourced supply of metal parts and components and the completion of subassemblies. As such, we are recognised as a significant contributor to OEM success and are the leading metal parts supplier in many industrial sectors.

If a lab says it is “accredited,” it means its systems, procedures, and staff competence have been independently audited against ISO/IEC 17025.

At Malabou, we coordinate and manage complex testing programs through NABL-accredited ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories, ensuring every project is executed with full traceability, documentation, and technical integrity.

At Malabou, our strength lies in leveraging the ideal casting method for each component—optimising quality, complexity, and cost-efficiency

Our team of metallurgists and engineers deliver end-to-end inspection, testing, and metrology solutions that help ensure components meet exact design and compliance requirements.

A quick stopover in Singapore, on my way to India, is a reminder of what focused, long-term planning can achieve. Every visit uncovers new infrastructure, cutting-edge capabilities, and a clear intent to lead in advanced manufacturing and defence readiness.
