Trusted by Australia’s Leading Manufacturers
MEX Engineering Group provides embedded site teams and engineering services to some of the country’s largest production facilities. We maintain critical infrastructure for industry leaders across FMCG, food and beverage, and high-speed packaging, including Tooheys, CHEP, Ullrich Aluminium, Goodman Fielder, and BlueScope Steel.
From Engineering Design to Boots-on-the-Ground Execution
We eliminate contractor inconsistency by managing the entire lifecycle of your industrial business. Our process begins with detailed CAD-based mechanical design and control system architecture. We then deploy our in-house tradespeople to execute the installation, ensuring that the engineering strategy is perfectly translated into practical, on-site reality. We secure this investment by providing comprehensive as-built drawings and ongoing fractional maintenance coverage.
Core Trade Capabilities
How we saved $17,000 per hour by Reducing Downtime
Our client’s plastic pallet washing facility is a critical piece of their supply chain infrastructure that runs 24/7. MEX Engineering Group was engaged to provide 24-hour operational assistance and critical preventative maintenance shifts to ensure the plant could survive the severe demands of continuous production.
By embedding a team of three maintenance electricians and one mechanical fitter, we organise all trades, source parts, and schedule repairs. Since taking control of the site, downtime has decreased significantly. With client downtime valued at approximately $17,000 per hour, our engineered maintenance strategy delivers considerable, measurable savings across their business operations.
MEX Excellence Integration Process
We follow a structured 6-step framework to embed our expertise inside your facility:
Site & Risk Assessment
Identifying potential hazards, legacy equipment risks, and audit exposure.
Fractional Maintenance Integration
Embedding our technicians to stabilise daily operations and build site knowledge.
Root Cause Fault Isolation
Eliminating repeat failures through data-driven troubleshooting.
Engineering Design
Using the latest CAD software for mechanical and electrical architecture.
Turnkey System Integration
Executing PLC, SCADA, and mechanical upgrades during planned shutdown windows.
24/7 Breakdown Coverage
Providing rapid-response on-call support to protect production continuity.

Adapting to High-Speed Manufacturing Demands
Australian manufacturing is undergoing rapid shifts, particularly in FMCG where production lines must adapt to high-speed canning and ready-to-eat meal packaging. As throughput demands increase, legacy PLC systems and unsupported SCADA networks pose a severe risk to output. Modernising these systems through targeted control system engineering and automation is no longer optional; it is required to remain competitive and compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is system integration critical for modern manufacturing?
System integration connects isolated machinery, electrical controls, and data communications into a single, cohesive line. This prevents operational bottlenecks, reduces manual handling errors, and ensures that mechanical and electrical components operate in perfect synchronisation to maximise throughput.
What is the difference between PLC Automation and a SCADA System Upgrade?
A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) provides direct, on-machine automation, instructing mechanical parts on exactly how and when to move. A Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system is the overarching software that connects multiple PLCs, allowing plant managers to monitor the entire production line, gather data, and control processes remotely from a central interface.
Do you provide 24/7 breakdown support for your engineered systems?
Yes. MEX Engineering Group operates a true 24 hour, 7 day breakdown response service. We do not just design and install; we provide the ongoing fractional maintenance and rapid recovery capability required to protect your uptime.
Are your engineering services compliant with Australian Standards?
Absolutely. We operate under rigorous HSEQ frameworks and certifications. Our engineering designs and machine safety audits strictly adhere to AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules and are supported by in-house TUV Nord-certified CMSE® (Certified Machinery Safety Experts).
Do you use subcontractors for your mechanical and electrical engineering?
While we have a broad network of trusted partners, our core capability is delivered by our own highly trained, full-time technicians and engineers. We invest heavily in our dedicated in-house training centre to ensure every staff member meets the MEX Engineering Group standard of excellence.
