Though the future of local manufacturing is bleak for Holden, Ford and Toyota, one automaker remains committed to making things in Australia: Nissan.

At a presentation to the media at the company’s casting plant in Dandenong, Victoria, Peter Jones, Managing Director of Nissan Casting Australia, said that Nissan’s local manufacturing operation has been “quietly flourishing”.

And not only has business continued unabated for Nissan, it’s growing. Nissan Casting is currently on a recruitment drive for more workers and the company has signed parts supply contracts that guarantee its future beyond 2020.

“Amid the turmoil that’s been reported about our country’s manufacturing sector, especially the local automotive industry, Nissan has been working away in the background,” Jones said.

“At the moment we employ 160 staff, but we’re recruiting for more. Currently, we’re running three shifts a day, seven days a week.

“We’re busy, and we’re about to become busier.”
