NAACAM congratulates member company, Malben Engineering, on their 50th anniversary

#WeAreNAACAM: NAACAM congratulates member company, Malben Engineering, on their 50th anniversary. Malben Engineering was first opened in 1974 by its six founders, including the founder and current owner Amerigo Smargiasso. The Company currently operates two state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities based in Nigel and offers a fully vertically integrated service, which includes tool manufacturing, component production/assembly, and surface finishing.

Malben Engineering’s 50th-anniversary celebration is a milestone that reflects the passion for excellence of the company. Speaking about the success the business has enjoyed over the past 50-years, Operational Director, Luca Smargiasso shared, ““One of our key differentiators is that we have also entrenched a culture of ownership in our people. That is where real sustainability comes in – it is inter-generational and broad-based.”

Congratulating Malben Engineering on this significant milestone, Renai Moothilal, NAACAM CEO remarked, “50 years of investing in people, quality, and sustainability—congratulations to Malben Engineering on this milestone! Their commitment to excellence, from world-class manufacturing to leadership in responsible supply chains is exemplary. Wishing them continued success for the next 50 years!”
