Hi guys, further to my offer on the Air Locker thread, I'd like to officially invite MySwag members to come and do a tour of our manufacturing facility at Kilsyth.
I've spoken to the sales team and we're going to lock in Tuesday, March 20th as the date. This gives everyone about a month's notice. Details below.
ARB Factory Tour
Date: Tuesday, March 20th
Time: From 6.30pm (until roughly 9.00pm)
Location: 42-44 Garden St. Kilsyth, VIC
Safety: All attendees MUST be wearing sturdy, closed toe'd shoes
Photos: We don't allow the public to take photos in the factory but I will take a few snaps of the group that will be posted to this thread after the tour
We'll supply some dinner for those attending (I'm thinking pizza) and some ARB merchandise. At this stage we'll cap the numbers at 20. If interest is really high, we can look at running another tour or increasing the numbers slightly.
Below is the list of people attending. If anyone discovers they are unable to make it, please let me know so I can open up your spot for someone else.

Before I even got a chance to finish telling the wife about it......she abruptly said......you can go but your not buying anything.......it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission......right....... I'll have a smooth finish canopy with the internal support frame thingy colorcoded (gunmetal) roof rack and an awning for an ML triton.
It's amazing how you will have an unbelievable once in a life time special deal that I just couldn't resist. Hahahaha

I don't know if all tours are the same but when our 4wd club did the tour a couple of years ago Jess asked us lots of questions as we went and gave out little key ring thingys for correct answers, those with the most key rings won prizes... I got my tyre deflator that night as a prize! It is worth listening to what they talk about. I actually listened because I found it interesting, the prize was a bonus.
:cheers:

For everyone who is coming to the tour, we'll have pizza on the go from around 6.00pm with the tour commencing at 6.30pm so if you can arrive around 6.00pm, that'd be great.
If you can't get there till 6.30 that's fine.
Cheers, Sam.

Hey BD, you can take your mate that we met up at Lovick's plenty of room for him to tag a long now. ;D

Just got home from the tour of the ARB factory which was very generously organized by Sam.
It was a great insight to the behind the scenes of ARB and its workings. We went through the production side of the company and how products are made and continuously fine tuned. It was a very informative tour with all questions asked, answered.
THANKS Sam :cheers:
-
Thanks again Sam, next time save me some pizza :)
-
Well done Sam, great night and good to see an aussie company still producing in our own back yard instead of shipping it offshore. Great night.
:cup: :cheers:
-
Thanks Sam and colleagues for a informative tour, :cup:
As someone who works in manufacturing specifically the engineering side its great to see the effort and investment that other Aussie company's are putting into this great land (and that's a pom talking) defiantly worth the extra few dollars over a imported product, just have to save up for the front locker for the Nav now I know you do one at last :cheers:
Thanks again, Graham
-
Hey BD, you can take your mate that we met up at Lovick's plenty of room for him to tag a long now. ;D
I tried to bring hm along but he was too drunk :cheers:
Sam and crew thanks again, was a great experience and a lot bigger than I imagined.
It was also good to catch up with a few swaggers again and also meet a few new faces as well. Look forward to going camping with you all at some stage.
Cheers John :cheers:
-
Thanx Sam and your ARB crew for putting on a very interesting and informative night.
Good to finally meet a few Swaggers.

Sam & Crew Last nights tour of the production side was really interesting . As we are all users of the products it fasanating to watch them come together from a flat sheet of steel. To the finished product . Thanks for your time in arranging this tour for us :cheers: Jamie
-
Thanks Sam and co for a very informative and enjoyable night.
I always thought ARB products were top notch......now I can see why.
-
Thanks Sam (and ARB)
I had a great night and was good to finally put a face to a name.
Very informative session, and good to see that AUS can still make a good product.
Cheers

Glad to hear everyone enjoyed the tour. It was good to be able to demonstrate an Air Locker actually being built.

You can blame Cruza driver for that, he was still pulling slices out of his pockets during the tour ;D

Thanks for the opportunity Sam to tour the amazing setup at ARB. I am still amazed at the laser cutters in operation and the total amount of stock sitting in the shelves.
