PKN spoke to Mike Cowan, MD of The Le Mac Australia Group, at Foodpro 2017 in Sydney this week, about the company's colourful new beverage packaging solutions for the craft beer and wine sectors.

From holographic shrink films for the craft beer sector to glittery shrink sleeves for sparkling wine, and a patented paper gift pack Le Mac had plenty of options to share with the Foodpro audience.

MD Mike Cowan takes us through some new concepts in this video:

Food & Drink Business

Inghams has returned to volume growth with reduced dependence on Woolworths but net profit fell 61.5 per cent to $34.6 million as input cost inflation, first half production inefficiencies and a tax provision weighed on FY26 earnings.

Endeavour Group’s decision to reset shelf prices at Dan Murphy’s has restored sales momentum but taken a heavy toll on earnings, with annual profit down 87.8 per cent to $52 million for FY26 after $372 million in pre-tax significant items covering restructuring, asset writedowns and the exit from its winery portfolio.

Food and beverage businesses that delay adopting AI, precision agriculture, digital modelling and fermentation technologies risk being locked out of the commercial opportunities attached to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, a new perspective paper from Australia’s Food and Beverage Accelerator (FaBA) says.
