Lewis Australia is Australia’s
leading supplier of engine assembly systems.
Over 3 million engines (I4, I6 & V6) have been built
and tested on Lewis assembly lines. Currently
this figure grows by nearly 250,000 per year.
In partnership with our clients, we use simultaneous
engineering to deliver the most efficient production
equipment in the minimum time. |

This results in the most appropriate mix of
automated and manual functions in line with
quality, flexibility and cost objectives.
Error-proofing and poke-yoke principles are
applied throughout.
