Stahl Metall Named Finalist in Four Categories at the 2026 Australian Manufacturing Awards
We are incredibly proud to share that Stahl Metall has been named a finalist in FOUR categories at the 2026 Australian Manufacturing Awards!
🏆 Manufacturer of the Year Award
🏆 Excellence in Manufacturing – Male – Anton Fonseka
🏆 Advanced Manufacturing Award
🏆 Defence Award
The Australian Manufacturing Awards celebrate the organisations and people helping drive excellence, innovation and capability across Australian manufacturing, so to be recognised across four categories is a tremendous honour for our entire team.
For Stahl Metall, this recognition represents much more than business growth.
It reflects our continued commitment to Australian sovereign manufacturing, advanced technology, quality, innovation and developing the next generation of skilled Australian manufacturing talent.
Over the past year, our team has continued to expand our capability while supporting some of Australia's most significant Defence programs across land, maritime, aerospace, guided weapons and autonomous systems.
Following our recent recognition as 2026 Australian Defence Industry Awards – Defence Subcontractor of the Year, being named a finalist across four Australian Manufacturing Awards categories is another very proud milestone in the Stahl Metall journey.
 None of this happens without people.
A huge thank you to the entire Stahl Metall team for your dedication, technical excellence and commitment to our customers every day.
Thank you also to our customers, Defence and industry partners, suppliers, universities and government partners who continue to support and believe in Australian manufacturing.
We started with a vision to build world-class manufacturing capability here in Australia.
That vision continues.
Proudly Australian. Proudly manufacturing in Victoria. Proudly supporting Australia's sovereign Defence capability.
