Big congratulations to WECA Member RML Machinery...

We are incredibly proud to announce that we were awarded both the Supreme and Innovation Awards at the 2025 Waikato Chamber of Commerce Business Awards event on Friday 21 November!

This recognition is a testament to our fantastic team of innovators who think big and design world-class products! We are particularly proud that the Innovation Award highlights our development of Automated Guided Vehicles. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Fonterra for entrusting us with the opportunity to develop these innovative vehicles, which have brought us to this position.

We also want to express our gratitude to the Waikato Chamber of Commerce for hosting such a remarkable event. A huge thank you to Foster Group Limited for sponsoring the Supreme Award, to Company-X for sponsoring the Innovation Award, and to all the wonderful people who helped make the event successful.

Looking ahead, we are excited to be growing even more in 2026! Together, we will continue to push boundaries and innovate.
