GME moves and expands

GME, a manufacturer of land-based and marine communications equipment, emergency signalling beacons and television signalling equipment, has invested in a new, purpose-built head office complex in north-western Sydney. The company says its Winston Hills facility - which houses 10-head surface mount machines and a range of other machinery - will function as a local manufacturing plant for its range of products.

GME says that by keeping the bulk of production in Australia, quality control will be preserved for products like EPIRB and PLB emergency beacons and radios.

The move from Gladesville to Winston Hills unites GME’s manufacturing, distribution, sales and marketing departments, including an expanded research and development department. The complex will be home to the company’s design engineers, factory assemblers and test technicians, in addition to the sales and customer service teams.
