Manufacturing Network

A dedicated network for local manufacturers to connect, share ideas, and access sector-specific support.

Join a network for local manufacturers


We’re building a network to bring local manufacturers together to share knowledge, solve challenges, and strengthen this important industry sector.


Manufacturing plays a vital role in our region’s economy, contributing to local jobs, exports and innovation. But many businesses face similar challenges alone. This network aims to change that.

RDA AHFKI has actively supported local manufacturing through initiatives such as the Hills & Coast Business Grant, which was launched in 2021.

This network builds on that support with a hands-on approach to business growth.

In addition to building connections, we will look at delivering a number of industry-based workshops each year with a focus on trends, technologies and solutions designed to help your business grow and prosper.

Who it’s for

This network is open to manufacturing businesses located in the following regions:

  • Adelaide Hills
  • Mount Barker
  • Alexandrina
  • Yankalilla
  • Kangaroo Island
  • McLaren Vale Preservation District

Whether you produce food, fabricate steel, build components or add value to raw materials, if your business makes or processes goods, we encourage you to participate.
