Default ARB to continue its Australian Manufacturing

Rumour has it ARB intends to move its manufacturing facility at Kilsyth to the Philippines to make its products.

ARB denies this claim and state they have no intention to do so, at the moment.

they also claim to have had an excellent year with selling products from their Australian facilities

Default ARB to shutdown its Australian Manufacturing

If only they'd embraced Jeep as a aftermarket market.
Imagine their production lines then.

They do, but like any business only where there is demand and a clear business case for it.
Half a dozen people on here wanting stuff for their WK's is not a business case.

I was at the ARB store in Kilsyth a couple of weeks ago and I was the 3rd jeep (all JK's) in the parking lot.

One even had ARB personalized plates. who knows, maybe they do have something in the pipeline.
