15 able to manufacture every product to exacting standards. This includes Infection Control Standard AS/NZ 5369. We are also ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14005 certified, meaning every project benefits from full traceability and third-party quality assurance controls.” Emery Industries’ core values of clinical excellence, local manufacturing, and responsiveness, defined when the company was formed, remain constant today. However, with a bias towards continuous improvement, Emery Industries' values now also encompass environmental responsibility, sustainable practices, and the highest standards of infection prevention and compliance. They are also registered with the Therapeutic Goods Association (TGA). Although far from a traditional manufacturing company, Emery Industries plays a vital role in many large healthcare infrastructure projects. The company supports hospital builds with precision-engineered solutions tailored to individual clinical workflows. It also provides equipment for fit-outs and offers refurbishment solutions for existing sites. James offered some insight into a recent major project: “Our work with the Surgical, Treatment and Rehabilitation Service (STARS) in Brisbane was a particular highlight for us. It’s an advanced public healthcare facility developed by Queensland Health. We were tasked with supplying a comprehensive suite of stainless steel clinical products across surgical theatres, preparation areas, and recovery bays. The key challenge for us was adhering to strict delivery schedules amidst ongoing global supply chain delays.” Thanks to Emery Industries’ local manufacturing capability, the company was able to respond rapidly, customising units to meet unique specific spatial and infection control requirements. With all components manufactured in Australia, the client could be confident in the quality and compliance of the finished products as well as the reliability of the service. Collaborating closely with site project teams, the designers at Emery Industries ensure delivery of durable, fit-for-purpose solutions which meet strict clinical specifications. Other recent projects the company has worked on include major equipment packages for Caboolture Hospital in Queensland, Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Adelaide, Footscray and Frankston Hospitals in Melbourne, and the redevelopment of the Royal Hobart Hospital. Simone talks us through the company’s formula for success. She told us: “Our approach is very hands-on and solutionfocused. We begin with a detailed consultation to understand the environment, workflow, and infection control needs of each site. From there, our design engineers work directly with healthcare stakeholders, project managers, and procurement teams to develop tailored solutions that integrate seamlessly into new or existing facilities. Our main focus is on clinical usability, compliance, and longevity. We want to ensure that every product performs reliably in a demanding hospital environment.” With healthcare in Australia currently undergoing significant transformation, major works programs are driving demand for high-quality, fit for purpose, compliant equipment. Hospitals and health services are under increasing pressure to source from Australian-owned, standards-compliant manufacturers, which is encouraging for the local manufacturing sector as a whole. Factors such as location, infection prevention, and supply chain resilience are shaping procurement decisions, highlighting Emery Industries as an obvious choice for organisations seeking customised, sustainable and compliant solutions. So, what’s in store for the team at Emery Industries for the rest of 2025? James told us: “The rest of the year is looking promising for us. We’re currently supplying equipment for the new Mater Springfield Hospital in Brisbane, the Forensic and Scientific Services facility in Coopers Plains, and the continuation of the Frankston Hospital Project. All these projects demand a high level of product customisation and infection control integration.” Exciting new product developments in modular systems and height-adjustable clinical trolleys are also being rolled out to meet the evolving needs of operating theatres and treatment rooms. Although less obvious in the clinical workflow, storage solutions can also impact the efficiency of any clinical environment. To maximise efficiency, Emery Industries has also developed a range of modern, modular stainless steel shelving, including Wiremax shelving for bulk items and MediMesh shelving for sterile areas. These products contribute to improved hygiene, reduced infection risk, and streamlined workflows. As part of its commitment to ongoing investment in technology and automation, Emery Industries is also making efficiency enhancements at its Arundel facility. These improvements will support the growing demand for the company’s products and services through 2025 and beyond.
