On 12th August, RPC Pty Ltd changed its name to Roblan Pty Limited.

Roblan introduced robots and automation to its plastic moulding manufacture.

The Accessories Division (Tooling & Machine Components) was formed, as the demand for high quality interchangeable tooling components became more widespread in Australia.

 Roblan's Quality Management System received certification to AS/NZS ISO 9002.

Roblan's Quality Management System received certification to QS-9000 in February.
The
Metal Pressing Division was relocated to Ingleburn, to allow for expansion of the Moulding Division. The relocation included the installation of a Transfer Press Line of four 260 tonne presses.

Roblan's Quality Management System received certification to ISO/TS 16949 for the Metal Pressing Division.

Roblan purchased the business assets and trading name of Press Shop Automation - PSA.
The operation was moved from Foundry Road, Seven Hills to
Heald Road, Ingleburn, with Iain Elliott as National Sales Manager.
