1970
BACK TO THE BEGINNING
Pat McCluskey and Pat Boland were both 25 years old when they started ANCA. Pat Boland was an Electrical Engineer with a First degree from Melbourne University and Pat McCluskey was an award-winning technician trained in the state-of-the-art machine tools. They had no business experience but had a great blend of knowhow, from the academic to the practical.
1980
EARLY SUCCESSES
The first business for ANCA was fitting CNC controls to a wide range of machine tools, mills, lathes, robots, special purpose automotive machines and had particular success in the field of laser cutting machines.

In the early 1980s the Pats decided that the future of the company lay in exporting to the world because of the small size of their Australian home market. After an exhaustive search it was decided that the business would target the world market in the field of CNC tool grinders. This was both niche which meant they could hone their product development to be exactly what their customers needed but large enough so there was opportunity to grow.
1986
BUILDING OUR SALES AND AFTERMARKET SUPPORT
In 1986 we launched our first overseas branch when Russell Riddiford opened ANCA Inc in Novi, Michigan. This was a huge step at the time but it propelled the business into a decade of sustained growth.

The decision to extend its operations launched the company into a major growth phase, which involved investing in its manufacturing facilities and growing a team of highly skilled and specialised staff. Continued growth has been matched by investment in factory equipment, research and development and a sales support infrastructure.
