Opening for operations in Melbourne in 1987, AD Automation has stood the test of time as a small business, producing quality work for industrial and automotive applications in various forms. Our story starts even earlier than that, with the company having been founded all the way back in 1973.

Over the last 40+ years, AD Automation has developed, manufactured and installed a wide variety of Quick Die Change (QDC) systems in manufacturing presses ranging from 60 to 1250 Tonne capacity, to a large number of elite manufacturing companies including complete press lines for Mitsubishi Motors Australia Ltd., General Motors-Holden’s Automotive Ltd as well as Ford’s Stamping Plant.

AD Automation has moved with the times, adapting as industrial climates change, diversifying from our automotive roots. We’ve become an ENERPAC specialist and a local supplier for Lincoln Lubrication systems, pneumatic, fittings and industrial supplies.

With our deep industrial knowledge and industry connections, we service big customers in aerospace, mining, rail, food and beverage, and recycling industries, as well as research and development with local Universities.
