SA Group Enterprises is pleased to announce that we have begun relocating our business divisions Aspitech and Wire Ware into larger premises at
149 Holbrooks Road, Underdale, South Australia.

This is will a major turning point in our organisation’s history with the significant expansion of our new electronics recycling business, Aspitech.   The business began as a pilot with only 3 people in 2008 growing to 50 by 2012 and in the next two years is expected to grow to employ over 100 people within this division alone, half of whom will be people with a disability.

This modern clean factory is many times the size of our old site at Melrose Park and will allow us to significantly grow both businesses and offer increased employment opportunities.  The selection of new premises has been challenging in terms of size, type and location but we believe the new location offers significant improvements. 

• Modern factory of 3,500 sqm to be increase to 5000sqm by 2015.
• Better accessible facilities and personnel amenities
• Accessible large ground floor offices and ample car parking
• Excellent access from Holbrooks Road and on a regular public transport route
• Extensive hardstand area and canopy providing all weather loading.

We would like to also recognise the support of the Federal Government, and the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) in particular, of whom we are profoundly grateful. Not only for their financial assistance to enabling us to relocate, but also their foresight in supporting our efforts to create quality employment opportunities for people with a disability.

Currently, we are working closely with Prozess who are specialists in manufacturing efficiency to ensure our electronics recycling facilities are world class. Further we are consulting specialists in the area of vocational training for people with a disability from both Flinders and Adelaide University.  The aim is to identify effective strategies to assist people with a disability to gain the most benefits from growth in our new venture.

Next few months are not be without challenges as we settle in, but I am very excited by the real employment opportunities we are creating for people with a disability and in the broader community here in South Australia.
