ANCA has won the Large Advanced Manufacturer category in the Governor of Victoria Export Awards, moving through to the national finals in Canberra later this year.
2011 was a year of growth for ANCA, an Australian owned and based company in the business of precision manufacturing.
ANCA contributes to the Australian economy with ninety eight (98%) of its products exported globally with major markets in Germany, Japan, China and the United States.
ANCA has achieved success on a global scale in a sector traditionally dominated by German and Swiss companies.
The business continues to invest in research and development and has built a specialist team of around 350 at its head office in Bayswater, Melbourne.
Founded in 1974, ANCA is a leading manufacturer of CNC tool and cutter grinders.
The Victorian award rewards the most successful and innovative exporters with the stamp of international success. It is the seventh time the business has won this award for continued efforts to drive growth in the Australian economy.
ANCA reported almost 20% export sales increase FY2011/2012 and met with success in developing the Chinese, South American and Indian markets.
