Join Industry Partners Australia for an exclusive behind-the-scenes visit to G.James Aluminium Products, one of Australia’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of aluminium products and building solutions.

This site tour provides an opportunity to explore a large-scale Australian manufacturing operation and gain insight into the processes, people and technology involved in transforming raw aluminium into products used across the construction and industrial sectors.

Participants will hear about G.James’ approach to manufacturing, operational efficiency, quality, safety and continuous improvement, before taking a guided tour of the facility.

As always, the value extends beyond the host site. The tour provides an opportunity for IPA members to connect with peers from other industries, share experiences and take away practical ideas that may spark improvement within their own operations.

Come along, see how another industry operates and discover what conversations can lead to.

About G James:

The G.James Group of Companies is a family-owned manufacturing business proudly specialising in the Australian-based production of aluminium windows & doors, building facades and aluminium extrusions.

G.James is also a leading processor of secondary glass products including laminated, toughened and insulating glass units. The company’s interests extend into other entities supplying aluminium castings, street & park furniture and aluminium scaffolding & access equipment.

Sustained growth and investment over several decades have seen the business expand from a single glass factory in Fortitude Valley to today supporting over 2000 employees operating from some 35 locations around Australia.

In 2017, G.James achieved the significant milestone of 100 years in business. The group’s success over these years is largely attributed to a history of entrepreneurial stewardship, dedicated employees and a loyal, satisfied customer base.
