The hardware industry is a niche of the manufacturing sector that designs and develops the tangible components of computers, electronics and building processes, providing the crucial elements that allow these complex structures to function. Because hardware components are often small in size, they can be manufactured entirely separately from the larger products they are a part of and brought in from offsite storage for assembly. As a port city with over-sea access to Europe, Asia and Africa, Sydney is strategically located as a global hardware supplier. Here are the major hardware companies around Sydney to watch.
