Victoria\u2019s 2017 Manufacturer of the Year is located right on Ballan\u2019s doorstep.<\/p>\n

Paarhammer Window and Doors took out the prestigious award in the small business category of the Victorian Manufacturing Hall of Fame held on May 9.<\/p>\n

Owners, Tony and Edith Paarhammer accepted the award at a gala dinner held at Palladium at Crown in Melbourne.<\/p>\n

Ms Paarhammer said it still hasn\u2019t sunk in.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew we were finalists, and of course we were hoping to win, but there were so many really, really good finalists that we didn\u2019t dare hope too much.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we found out we had won we were just absolutely thrilled for everyone who is working here for us, as absolutely everyone has earned this award\u201d.<\/p>\n

Established in 1990, Paarhammer Window and Doors is the first Australian company<\/p>\n

to develop bushfire-resistant windows and doors that are tested and approved to Australian standards.<\/p>\n

All works are conducted in a purpose-built factory that features energy efficient sustainable waste and light and water management systems.<\/p>\n

An on-site robot named Francesco aids in spray-painting to ensure all windows and doors have a perfect finish.<\/p>\n

Ms Paarhammer said the company places a strong focus on staff education and community, with 35 apprentices trained in-house since its foundation.<\/p>\n

Staff members have also been supported in overseas study trips to learn how to make aluminium clad windows now manufactured in Ballan.<\/p>\n

Member for Buninyong, Geoff Howard congratulated the Paarharmer team on winning the prestigious manufacturing award and for \u201chelping to shape the future of this important sector\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cCompanies like Paarhammer are helping Victoria become a hub for advanced manufacturing, driving economic activity and creating local jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n
