Prime Minister Julia Gillard said on Wednesday it will comprise the best expertise to map out a vision for the future of manufacturing, which is struggling in a two-speed economy that is mainly benefiting the resources industry.

Ms Gillard will chair the taskforce, with industry minister Kim Carr as her deputy.

In total, there will be 23 representatives, with seven sets each of government and industry members.

The industry representatives include OneSteel CEO Geoff Plummer, Boeing Australia president Ian Thomas, Holden chair Mike Devereux, Thales managing director Chris Jenkins, Textor Technologies managing director Phil Butler and Australia Industry Group Heather Ridout.

The six union members include the ACTU, Australian Workers Union, Australian Manufacturing Workers Union, CFMEU, NUW and TCFUA.

The taskforce will be rounded out with three science and technology representatives, including CSIRO CEO Megan Clark.>>
