The aim of the Industry Capability Network South Australia (ICNSA) is to promote South Australian, Australian and New Zealand industry through import replacement and opportunities for participation in major projects. The ICN performs a technical role providing purchasers with a free sourcing service to identify Australian suppliers capable of supplying those items that would otherwise be imported.
To achieve this aim, the ICN has a comprehensive database of Australian industry capability. To register your companys capability click on Supplier Registration from the navigation menu.
ICN was established in 1984 and is funded by the South Australian Government through the Department of Trade and Economic Development to provide specialist supply chain services. The office is staffed by professionals with industry experience in engineering, logistics and procurement. The ICNSA is the successor to the Industrial Supplies Office.
The ICN technical consultants have a comprehensive knowledge of national industrial capability across all tiers of manufacturing. Contact the ICN to ensure that your company is registered.
ICN adopts a positive role by contacting all sectors of the procurement chain including architects, project managers and engineers, to ensure that they are aware of local capability and encourages them to provide Australian industry with a full and fair opportunity to bid for the work.
Many companies seek overseas suppliers in the belief that the products they require are either too expensive, inferior quality or the technology is unavailable from Australian manufacturers. Through its expert staff and its extensive database of Australian production capabilities, ICN has time and time again identified companies with the required capability and ability to meet the purchasers requirements of price, delivery, quality, and technical requirements. ICN is a most cost-effective organisation and, arguably, is Australias most successful job creation program.
