GME Profile

The unrivalled reputation of GME Electrophone and GME Kingray products for quality, coupled with the manufacturing philosophy of only selecting components of the highest standard, is evidenced by the number of Australian Government and Armed Forces contracts awarded to the company for the supply of conventional and custom products.

The manufacturing and quality operations within Standard Communications stand as an example of the total commitment to manufacturing excellence, through state-of-the-art technology. The heart of the process is the integration of robots to the production line. With the application of surface mount technology and automation, complex printed circuit boards can be assembled in a fraction of the time taken by human hands, with 100% accuracy. Wave soldering has been replaced by ‘Solder Reflow’ technology allowing the boards to be assembled and soldered in one process. The result is unparallelled quality, performance and reliability.

Product Development is the blending of ideas from the marketplace, management and Research & Development. A dedicated project team is formed to examine every aspect of the development cycle. New technologies are utilised to ensure optimum performance and reliability.

Standard Communications’ corporate headquarters at Gladesville cover an area of 76,000 sq. ft., (7060 sq. metres). The factory incorporates state-of-the-art engineering and test laboratories dedicated to the design of long term products suitable for local production. Further utilisation of CAD/CAM technology, SMD manufacturing, Reflow Soldering techniques and automated assembly will ensure the continued success of Standard Communications’ Australian made products.

The GME Electrophone and Kingray brands maintain their market-leading position through exhaustive research, quality and reliability. All this is coupled to a comprehensive TQM programme including an AS/NZS ISO9001:2008 accreditation.
