AFI Vic/Tas - Hobart Industry Tour

Following the success of our inaugural Launceston tour in 2025, AFI VCI/TAS is pleased to invite members and industry partners to Hobart for our second Industry Tour.

This event brings together Tasmania’s unique industrial capability and renowned hospitality, offering a rare opportunity to visit globally recognised organisations showcasing advanced manufacturing, innovation, and the critical role of sovereign capability in Australia’s future.

The program includes:

• Nyrstar – a world-class zinc smelting operation demonstrating large-scale metallurgical processing and critical minerals capability

• INCAT – a global leader in high-speed vessel construction and advanced marine engineering

• Cascade Brewery – Australia’s oldest operating brewery, blending heritage manufacturing with modern production

• APCO Engineering – a technology-driven foundry and machining business delivering integrated manufacturing solutions

The tour also features the AFI Tasmanian Legends Evening, celebrating industry leaders and providing a valuable networking opportunity in a relaxed setting.

This is more than a site tour—it is an opportunity to connect, learn, and see first-hand how leading organisations are driving innovation, resilience, and manufacturing excellence in Australia.

An unmissable opportunity to explore, connect, and experience Australian manufacturing at its best.
