The manufacturing sector contributes more than 9% of the Gross Regional Product for NSW North Coast which equated to over $1.7 billion in 2008. Manufacturing is one of the largest sectors and is growing at approximately 8.6% per annum.
In order to survive and expand in the competitive international marketplace our manufacturers have adapted and focused their businesses on niche markets. In this environment, market share is based on an organisation’s ability to deliver quality, custom designed products quickly and cost effectively. This focus means a critical reliance on information and communication technology in order to maintain high turn-around of products which involve the constant transfer of high definition technical data between clients, designers and CAD/CAM operators. In the world of customer focused niche markets, success is based on quick and efficient response times to clients.
The established group of manufacturers on the NSW North Coast have continued to grow and gain an ever increasing market share in spite of the poor quality and highly expensive internet services currently available when compared to the major centres. Business function is already severely impaired with organisations having to juggle usage and cobble together data allowance packages to be able to continue to compete internationally.
This admirable perseverance has maintained the significant annual growth but indications are that without improved telecommunications infrastructure these businesses are considering relocating, either putting pressure back on already overloaded major centres, or ultimately overseas.
