In this episode of the Manufacturers’ Monthly podcast, Alan Oppenheim AM, managing director of Ego Pharmaceuticals, discusses the company’s journey from a family-owned Melbourne business founded in 1953 to one of Australia’s leading pharmaceutical manufacturers.
Fresh from being recognised as Leader of the Year at the 2026 Endeavour Awards, Oppenheim reflects on Ego’s more than 70-year manufacturing legacy, the company’s $156 million investment in Australian operations, and why local manufacturing remains central to its long-term strategy.
The conversation also explores the new Zorzi Innovation Centre, advanced manufacturing and automation, quality and regulatory compliance, sustainability through the Green Core project, workforce development, and the future of Australian manufacturing in an increasingly competitive global market.
