Orica Manufacturing Plant student site visit
Newcastle
Business School (NBS) undergraduate students recently visited Orica
Manufacturing Plant, located on Kooragang Island.
Orica's
Kooragang Island facility is an integral part of the company's global
operations. The facility includes an ammonia plant, three nitric acid plants,
two ammonium nitrate plants and a product dispatch facility. Orica makes an
important contribution to the local Newcastle community, and its operations
play a key role in the NSW economy, supplying critical products to the mining
and infrastructure, agriculture, food, dairy and medical sectors.
The industry site tour provided the students with insights to Orica's manufacturing and business practices, by providing an opportunity to see theory in practice, and ask questions of professionals in situ. It was organised by the Faculty of Business and Law as a Work Ready initiative. Details of further Faculty of Business and Law Work Ready initiatives are available on the Work Ready calendar.
