Hummingbird take off to the Williamtown Aerospace Centre

Hummingbird Electronics have completed their relocation to their new purpose-built Innovation Centre located at the Defence Technology Business Park outside Newcastle in Williamtown, New South Wales.

Hummingbird Electronics had been at its previous premises in Port Stephens since its establishment in 2008.  Hummingbird is shaped by its bespoke product design, unparalleled specialist knowledge and its superb quality service.

Since being acquired by the South Australian manufacturer REDARC Electronics in May 2015, Hummingbird Electronics has undergone many changes within their business to align their manufacturing and logistical facets with that of REDARC.

The move to the Williamtown ensures Hummingbird continues to build its longstanding relationships in the region, enhance its capabilities in new markets and to put itself in the best possible position to deal with opportunities for future growth.

Hummingbird’s National Sales and Marketing Manager, Mark Bruce, said the move represented exciting times for the both REDARC and Hummingbird.
