ABOUT

At Kewder Engineering in the northern Melbourne suburb of Heidelberg, improvement in product quality has been a key part of the business's strategic competitive advantage, according to owner, founder and inspirational leader Gerry Warrington.

After starting the business in 1989, only nine years after arriving from Scotland as a toolmaker, Gerry Warrington through hard work, dedication, and a focus on excellence in customer service was able to develop an iconic engineering business that now employs over 50 staff.

The CNC machine shop founded by Gerry employs the latest technology available to ensure their customers achieve the product outcomes that they require - on-time, on-budget and right first time / every time.

By investing millions of dollars into the latest 5-axis CNC machines and understanding the needs of the local market Kewder has not only be able to compete against low-cost imports but excel - by offering short-runs, large size machined components, to customers specifications, at a value for money price.

ISO 9001 quality systems accreditation has always been a key objective for the business and the achievement of the accreditation in 1998 was a major milestone, but new market opportunities demanded not only strong quality systems, but also the equipment necessary to assure product quality. This meant moving into the adoption of automatic coordinate measuring machine (CMM) technology.
