New investment in smart manufacturing technology

Leading wire decking manufacturer MantaMESH has announced a major upgrade to its Australian smart manufacturing operations, with investment underway in a new digital-native state of the art production line for their market leading wire decking products.

The new fully automated, production line, represents a significant step forward in manufacturing capability, strengthening MantaMESH’s long-term capacity, precision and efficiency while supporting the company’s continued move toward fully data-driven, Industry 4.0 production.

This investment reflects growing customer demand for faster, more predictable supply and reinforces MantaMESH’s readiness for the next phase of advanced manufacturing.

Installation and commissioning of the new production line will commence in February 2026. During this transition period, Australian customers may experience longer than normal lead times. This short term installation and commissioning period is a necessary step to ensure long-term competitiveness in pricing, lead times and reliability.

“Investing in manufacturing technology at this level is not something you do overnight and we believe our customers deserve transparency as we make this transition. This investment ensures MantaMESH remains a world-class manufacturer - not just today, but for decades to come.”

— Stephen Eddowes, CEO of MantaMESH

Once fully operational, the new production line will deliver increased capacity and throughput, greater data-driven production visibility and more consistent output, supporting faster lead times, improved reliability and long-term pricing competitiveness.

The investment also supports the evolution of MantaMESH’s Australian workforce, shifting roles from manual, labour-intensive tasks toward higher-skilled, technology-driven positions aligned with the future of advanced manufacturing.

The investment and upgrade marks another milestone in MantaMESH’s evolution as a digital-first, data-driven manufacturer, reinforcing its long-term commitment to advanced manufacturing in Australia, skilled local jobs and helping customers win more business with competitive pricing and fast lead times.
