A big congratulations goes out to Argon's CEO, Paul Deuchar for his inclusion in WA Business New's "40 under 40" business leaders awards.
Paul was recognised for his pioneering efforts in mining robotics, here in Western Australia.
"STRIVING to make the impossible possible was at the heart of Paul Deuchar’s decision to found Argon Technology at the age of 24. While studying Mechanical Engineering at Curtin University, Mr Deuchar identified the need for a company that could provide robotic engineering services to the soon-to-be booming resource sector.
Based on that idea and a solid vision, Argon Technology was born in 2004 and quickly grew into the largest robotic organisation in the state, with clients that include BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Bluescope Steel.
The company now boasts 12 highly skilled staff, while Mr Deuchar himself has overseen the training of more than 100 engineers, with a commitment to creating a work environment that is both enjoyable and professionally rewarding.
There have been difficulties, however, with Mr Deuchar having tried and failed previously to get the company off the ground, and the navigating the GFC.
In 2009 Mr Deuchar was recognised as WA’s Young Engineer of the Year for his efforts in developing Argon Technology into a company that is now internationally recognised and accredited.
The business’s success has also allowed Mr Deuchar to give back to the community that has supported him, regularly contributing to a range of charities and encouraging his employees to do the same.
Few can claim to have founded and successfully built their own company from the ground up. Even fewer can claim to have founded an entire industry."

A great wrap on a man who is paving the way for change in our resource based economy.
On behalf of Paul & Argon a very big congratulations to all 40 Under 40 contestants and a special congratulatory mention to The First Amongst Equals winner "Grey Egerton-Warburton" of Hartleys.
