Innovation With The Australian Turntable Company
Have you ever seen a turntable?
Australian Turntables have been creating them since 1987.
Turntables are used by a range of people for all kinds of reasons, but essentially, turntables are installed to rotate an object. Sometimes they are used in garages to spin cars, or in mines to turn trucks, and sometimes even for stages or audiences. Australian Turntables are experts in engineering and developing turntables and can deliver and install products customised for any situation. Australian Turntables ship their products within Australia and all around the world.
Join us as Australian Turntables General Manager Marc, takes us on a walk-through of their Bendigo office and factory. He shows us what they do, interviews staff about a variety of jobs, and reveals the results of their work.
