Armstrong Australia was inducted into the Victoria state government’s Manufacturing Hall of Fame for making outstanding contributions to sustained manufacturing excellence.

Michael J. Jenkins, Armstrong vice president – Southern Asia Pacific, said, “This acknowledges our efforts at both Thomastown and Braeside to improve our plants’ performance, particularly in the area of reducing our environmental footprint.” Mike accepted the recognition on behalf of Armstrong Australia at a formal ceremony in Melbourne in May.

According to Theo Theophanous, Victoria's minister for industry and trade, the 77 member companies in the Manufacturing Hall of Fame demonstrate the foresight, creativity and energy to advance manufacturing in Victoria and whose innovative solutions to global manufacturing issues have made them world leaders.
