On January 17th, Australian Fluid Handling (AFH) celebrated a major milestone in its journey starting in 1999 — the opening of its new manufacturing and service workshop. This event wasn’t just a celebration of a new space; it was a tribute to the hard work, dedication, and passion of the people who have driven AFH’s growth and success. Since joining the Torishima Group in 2021, AFH has been on a remarkable trajectory, and this new facility is a clear reflection of the collective efforts that continue to shape its bright future.
The opening event brought together the AFH team, key members of Torishima—including senior leadership—and important partners and customers. It was a moment to recognize the incredible contributions of everyone involved in bringing this vision to life. The ceremony began with heartfelt speeches, emphasizing the strategic importance of the new facility in enhancing operational capacity and elevating service quality. A standout moment came when Kotaro Harada, the Representative Director and CEO of Torishima, took the stage. His words reaffirmed the Torishima Group’s unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation, and the critical role each individual plays in the company’s ongoing success.
The highlight of the day was the symbolic ribbon-cutting ceremony, followed by an exciting tour of the facilities. This tour gave attendees a firsthand look at the cutting-edge technology and machinery that will enable the AFH team to continue delivering top-tier service and solutions to customers across the region.
This new space is more than just an expansion—it’s an investment in the AFH team. With enhanced resources and operational capabilities, AFH can continue its mission of providing industry-leading fluid handling solutions. It’s a testament to the commitment to progress, driven by the people who make it all happen. With this new factory, AFH now boasts facilities in Perth, Melbourne, and Brisbane, strengthening its ability to serve clients and reinforce its position in the industry. This milestone is a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when talented individuals work together toward a shared vision.
