Wonthella
WA, Australia

WA agricultural equipment manufacturer — Empower took 20-30% off both labour time and labour cost across the range.

Broadacre ag equipment

NuFab Industries build heavy-duty agricultural equipment — deep rippers, tyne bars, the gear WA farmers rely on. Every build is a mix of standardised parts and custom configuration.

20-30% out of both sides

Sarah Allen-Hauser, Administration — "We have probably reduced our labour time on jobs by 20% to 30%, therefore reduced our labour cost on jobs by 20% to 30%."

WA-built for WA conditions

Building for WA broadacre means gear that has to handle the punishment. Empower runs the production side so the fabrication team can focus on getting the metalwork right.
