Embracing change, innovation and automation all fundamental to growth
RML Machinery Limited began in 1982, when the company began manufacturing innovative equipment for the airline and pneumatics sectors in Hamilton. From these humble beginnings, it “quickly garnered a reputation for excellence and reliability”, and it’s become a complete in-house production automation machinery building company.
“Throughout the years, we have embraced change and innovation, which has been fundamental to our growth. In the early 2000s, we recognised the potential of robotics and autonomous vehicles, diversifying our product line to include these state-of-the-art technologies,” says Panashe Nyashanu, marketing coordinator at RML. This forward-thinking approach allowed the company to stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly changing market, and ensuring we exceed customer expectations.
“Today, we are renowned as an industry leader in production automation and component manufacturing. We proudly service a diverse customer base across countries like New Zealand, Australia, India, the United Kingdom, the United States, and more, reflecting our commitment to excellence on a global scale,” says Nyashanu. This is a credit to RML’s dedicated team of more than 70 creatives, innovators, and engineers, who allow it to “punch well above our weight in the industry” and be well-equipped to address the challenges that customers face in their respective industries.
Nyashanu says that this is all backed by a diverse product range consisting of case packing machines, palletising systems, cartoning machines, automated guided vehicles, and more – designed to maximise human potential and enhance customer productivity in industries such as fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), dairy, industrial automation, and logistics.
In the FMCG sector, RML provides products that streamline production lines and enhance product distribution, ensuring that products reach consumers quickly and efficiently.
“In the dairy industry, our machinery supports the production of high-quality goods while maintaining strict safety and quality standards. For industrial automation, our expertise translates into innovative systems that optimise workflow and reduce labour costs, while our logistics products, like our automated guided vehicles, facilitate smoother inventory management and distribution processes,” says Nyashanu.
A key pillar of RML’s success lies in “future-proofing engineering solutions”. By integrating cutting-edge robotics and industry-leading control systems into its products, RML ensures that products are not only efficient but also adaptable to the evolving needs of the market.
“As we look to the future, we remain committed to exploring new technologies and enhancing our product range to serve our customers better. Our journey, which began over four decades ago, showcases a relentless drive for innovation and a passion for engineering solutions that empower businesses worldwide.
“Now that we have moved into our brand-new purpose-built facility in Hamilton, we are excited for the future, with innovation at the forefront of our business.”
