Arctic Installations Reaches New Heights in Cyclone-Ready Manufacturing
Darwin-based Arctic Installations has achieved a major milestone, successfully meeting cyclone certification standards after rigorous testing at James Cook University’s Cyclone Testing Station. The tests proved the company’s insulated panels can withstand extreme wind pressures and serviceability demands - a huge win for Northern Australia’s manufacturing sector. The achievement is part of a collaborative project supported by the Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre through the Advanced Manufacturing Ecosystem Fund, alongside partners MDI Systems and Rapid Engineering NT. Together, they’re building the capability to produce high-performance panels designed for tropical and cyclone-prone regions. Arctic Installations is now preparing to scale up production and expand its exports, with its panels already reaching markets like East Timor. The company’s growth not only highlights local innovation but also reinforces Darwin’s role as a hub for advanced manufacturing built for the North’s toughest conditions.
Arctic Insulated Panels has secured a second round of R&D funding through the Advanced Manufacturing Ecosystem Fund to develop innovative building products designed for tropical climates.
The project will focus on creating energy‑efficient, durable soffit boards engineered to withstand the heat, humidity, and cyclonic conditions of the Northern Territory. This funding supports Arctic’s growth and enable's local manufacturing, boosting jobs, and expanding the company’s product line for broader market rollout
