Nova Systems has expanded its manufacturing and systems integration footprint in Queensland, opening a new National Systems Integration Centre in Banyo that is more than twice the size of its original facility.
The company said the expansion, less than a year after the centre opened, has been driven by growing demand from Defence, aerospace and emergency services customers.
The larger facility is designed to increase Nova’s capacity for systems integration, testing, prototyping, production and customer engagement.
Nova Systems CEO Dean Rosenfield said the expansion reflected demand for specialised engineering and manufacturing capabilities.
“The fact we’ve already expanded into a facility more than double the size reflects both the strength of demand for these services and the expertise of our team,” Rosenfield said.
The expanded centre will support production activities including Nova’s stretcher loading system developed for the Royal Flying Doctor Service Queensland fleet. It will also support mission integration projects for organisations including StarFlight and the Royal Australian Navy’s Aircraft Maintenance and Flight Trials Unit.
According to Nova, the facility is intended to support projects across the full systems integration lifecycle, from concept development and design through to testing, certification, production and sustainment.
Rosenfield said the investment would allow the company to scale its operations while contributing to Australia’s sovereign engineering and advanced manufacturing capabilities.
“The National Systems Integration Centre gives us the ability to deliver those capabilities at scale while continuing to grow Australia’s sovereign engineering and advanced manufacturing expertise,” he said.
Nova said the expanded facility would increase its capacity to support Defence, aviation and emergency services programs as demand for integrated technical solutions grows.
