About RML
Machines and Automation
We’ve been designing, building and servicing long-lasting, high performance, precision automation solutions from global leaders for over 40 years.
We futureproof our customers’ engineering using robotics, industry leading control systems and by providing world-class components.
We can do the same for you.
Quality Components
We manufacture precision-engineered process components to reduce operational costs, save water and energy, and make your production process more efficient.
Support and Maintenance
A servicing team that works for you
The best people to take care of your new equipment are the ones who designed and engineered it. RML provides comprehensive maintenance and support, our people working with yours at a range of levels – from maintenance techs to production and line managers.
About RML
We started out designing and building equipment for the airline and pneumatics sector over 40 years ago in Hamilton, New Zealand. Word got around. RML started taking on projects from other industries, and soon expanded into a full in-house machinery building service.
In the early 2000s we branched out into robotics and autonomous vehicles.
Today we are recognised industry leaders in Production Automation and Component Manufacturing, servicing customers in New Zealand, Australia, India and the US.
The RML and Icon partnership - ‘At your service’
Introducing Icon Equipment, the experts in liquid packaging line automation, as our Service partner. Like us, Icon has built quite the reputation for service delivery and commitment to customer care in Australia. Joining forces means we can offer the RML experience to more of our Australia based customers.
Our process
First, we collaborate to understand your business and your specific product requirements. Do you need increased line capacity? Is this a new product or do you need packaging shelf-ready? We add value when we know your business inside out.
Once we understand what you need and why we can start designing a customised solution.
This is another collaborative stage, with our people working closely with yours to create the most efficient, well thought out design that considers all the factors – including factory layout, restrictions, capacity, efficiency and budget.
All our machinery is built in-house by a team of expert engineers with diverse skill sets and a forward-thinking approach. Everything we build has quality at its core and is engineered to have a long and productive operating life. We keep you informed at every stage, right up to delivery day, and every piece of equipment is thoroughly tested before it leaves RML.
Once your machinery is built, we organise the most efficient installation plan we can.
Our skilled installation team work around your production schedule to ensure minimal disruptions to your operations.
Ongoing support and maintenance are an important part of our working partnership.
A services team that’s on-site when you need it
We provide ‘boots on the ground’ maintenance and support at top speed. When machines are down, we understand the pressure is intense.
Remote access and 24/7 camera monitoring
Building cameras into our machines plus our ability to ‘remote-in’ to diagnose and troubleshoot means you also have a winning online service set-up.
