Sydney traffic is getting worse and worse due to population growth. If you are not living in the local area, it might take you 1-1.5 hours to travel to work during peak hours. If you enjoy driving, you may have a good time travelling to work every day during the off-peak hours, however, most of the office hours starts from 7- 9am and finishes between 3:30 - 5pm. Commuters usually struggle with traffic jams or traffic delays due to unforseen circumstances. Wasted time, wasted petrol and accumulation of fatigue and anxiety are usually the unpleasant results of the commuters.

In the popular Mad Max Movie “Fury Road” which is a Oscar Winner, the fuel tanker that was centre stage throughout the whole movie was partly manufactured by C-Mac back in March 2010. Keeping it all hush, hush until the movie was released was adhered to by all staff. Several mock tanks were fabricated with the walk ways on top and delivered to a secure location in Western Sydney.
C-Mac supplied 4 only round tanks 1500mm x 8000mm long and 2 only oval tanks 2400mm x 1400mm x 4500mm long. The tanks were made to look like fuel tankers complete with support stands running their full length. The oval tanks also had combing running the full length of the tops to make them look like actual fuel tanks.
It is interesting and keeps us all at the top of our game with the variety and interesting requests we get from customers.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
INSULATING OIL TREATMENT BUSINESS
This is to confirm that Alfa Laval Australia Pty Ltd have handed over the Transformer oil filtration
business to our long-standing local fabricator C-Mac Industries in Sydney effective 1 March 2014. C-Mac have been involved in the design and fabrication of these units for several years and we see them as a right fit to take over the sales & marketing of these units under their own brand name.

This is C-Mac’s first direct export to the USA. Manufacturing time was 10 days and sea freight was 45 days to San Francisco.
*[Owner]* An industrial laundry system service company needed repairs and redesign done to their tooling. C-Mac made changes to the tooling to make access and ease of use to decrease service down times.
*[Service Manager]* An industrial fan service company had a failure of a major shopping centre air conditioning fan/ blower. C-Mac repaired the unit within a 24hr turn around for minimum downtime.
*[Owner/Manager]* A major food manufacturer specializing in tomato sauce had a filling machine breakdown. The machine was brought to C-Mac and repaired in 24hrs for minimum downtime of the production line costing $5,000 per hour.
*[RAAF - Warrant Officer]* Airfield support staff required a portable sandbagging frame and requested a design, prototype and trials at no cost. There was nothing suitable on the market i.e. made in Australia. "Sandbagging Frames":materials-handling/1-bagging-equipment#silt-bagging-frame are now on the national procurement data base and some probably overseas at different war zones.
*[Mechanical Design Engineer]* An automotive transmission design customer needed help with designing an automatic transmission gear prototype. We suggested and engineered a more cost effective and practical way for the mass production stage.
*[Nursery Manager]* At an exhibition saw our self tracking nursery trailers and indicated he had a costly issue transporting large (heavy) pots containing advanced trees. Existing method was a bobcat. C-Mac designed and quoted for the manufacture of a Self Tracking “Low Loader”. His comment on the first day of using "Low Loader trailer":nursery-equipment/7-trailers/#low-loader-self-tracking-trailer “Can now move 100 litre pots with trees, 150 metres in 1 hr and not get a sore back”.
*[Purchasing Officer]* A mining design and machining company needed help with machining components urgently as they were too busy to keep up with the demand. C-Mac machined the components so the deadline could be met.
*[General Manager]* Customer had to submit a proposal and compete against other countries for the manufacturing facility. C-Mac submitted drawings to show there was space in existing plant to install the new process and to comply with all Australian OH&S Standards. Working together with customer to submit proposal to the Head Office overseas WON the contract. Project was a success meeting 6month lead time and budget.
*[Nursery Owner]* Needed a specific Potting & Mixing machine. for his yuccas nursery, but the problem was it was no longer manufactured. From his description and specifications our engineers designed and modelled in 3D software his requirements. "Potting Machine":nursery-equipment/3-potting-machines/ was manufactured and fully tested with potting media in our workshop, video was then sent to customer who was very pleased with the results. Machine disassembled and freighted interstate and installed.
*[Maintenance Engineer]* An industrial hydraulic fitting manufacturer had problems with gear and shaft breakages with their machinery. They also had problems repairing and maintaining. C-Mac offered to repair and maintain their machinery on-site instead of having to permanently employ fitters.
