NHP Electrical Engineering Products (NHP) has been appointed as the sole distributor of Rockwell Automation products in the South Pacific.

NHP has also acquired Rexel Industrial Automation’s (RIA) NSW and South-east Queensland business assets related to the distribution and supply of Rockwell Automation products in these territories.

NHP has been granted sole distributor rights for Rockwell Automation products, systems and solutions in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Papua New Guinea, effective 1 May this year.

It is hoped the acquisition will result in smarter, safer and more sustainable operational outcomes through Rockwell Automation’s Connected Enterprise solutions, providing a simpler model to engage with businesses.

 

Food & Drink Business

Our Top 100 2025 edition of Food & Drink Business magazine is more than the annual flagship Top 100 Report. Industry leaders reflect on the year past and the one ahead, we provide our annual news review, M&A wrap-up, and all the executive moves, and a Roman-inspired sports drink, Posca, is our final Rising Star for 2025.

A blend of salt, red wine vinegar, and water – known as Posca – was the ‘original sports drink’, helping to keep the soldiers of the Roman Empire marching up to 30 kilometres per day. Keira Joyce spoke with Posca Hydrate co-founders, Merrick Watts and Ed Stening, about reviving a 2000-year-old functional beverage for the modern healthy lifestyle.

From the big deals to the quiet divestments, Food & Drink Business editor, Kim Berry, recounts the mergers and acquisitions of 2025.
