The deal marks a strategic step for Perfect Automation, which has worked closely with Omori over many years to integrate its packaging systems into Australian manufacturing operations.

According to the company, the new ownership structure brings together Perfect Automation’s local technical expertise and understanding of Australian production environments with Omori’s global engineering capabilities and technology portfolio.

The strengthened partnership is expected to enhance the delivery of packaging solutions tailored to local industry requirements, particularly in high-performance and automated applications.

The partners say customers are set to benefit from expanded access to Omori’s packaging systems, alongside increased service and support capabilities as the two companies align more closely.

Perfect Automation said the collaboration will focus on delivering reliable and sustainable packaging solutions, while continuing to build its presence and service offering across the Australian market.
