I, Ryan McClenaghan, am the co-founder and Director of Micron Manufacturing based in Sydney Australia. I have an extensive background in Engineering & Manufacturing, initially serving as an apprentice at Langford Lodge Engineering (RLC Group) in Country Antrim.
After arriving in Australia from Northern Ireland in 2006 and working in the industry, I identified Australia as having an older traditional manufacturing sector. I saw a gap in the market and I knew I could fill it.
Rather than viewing the changing manufacturing environment, where domestic companies were increasingly looking to engage offshore manufactures for a more affordable alternative as a threat, I saw an opportunity for a design, engineering and manufacturing solution, and adopted innovative and cutting edge manufacturing processes – implementing the latest in software and automated machine technology combination to deliver high-mix low-volume work at a speed that could not be matched by local or overseas competitors.
The success of Micron Manufacturing since its inception can be seen in our client base, which includes some of Australia’s most recognised companies, brands & government bodies, as well as in recognition in the BRW Fast Starters 2014 & 2015 top 100 list and being named a finalist in 2016 for most innovative manufacturing business & Outstanding Start-up Australia (2016 Endeavour Awards-Australian Manufacturing Technology).
I'm proud of the success of my business, and the opportunity it gives me to provide jobs to the community, and to fly the flag for Ireland in business circles with in Australia and Internationally.
