Now in its 62nd year, the 2024 Awards recognised businesses across 13 national categories and five NSW categories. The Awards are delivered in partnership between the NSW government and the Export Council of Australia.

According to TNA, the ropac 5 is the world’s fastest case-packing system for flexible bags capable of packing up to 200 bags per minute.

Using TNA’s own patented semi-rotary technology, the tna ropac 5 case packer is designed to pack small-to-medium, pillow style snack bags.

Most bag widths and lengths are handled with ease for packing various applications such as snacks, confectionery, pasta and cereal.

“We’re extremely proud to be an ambassador of Australian innovative technology, to help our global customers succeed responsibly in a changing world,” the company said.

“Thank you, Export Council of Australia, for this honour, and for your continued support in recognising Australian excellence.”

The theme for the 2024 Awards was centred on NSW’s dynamic export partnership with the Association of South-east Asian Nations (ASEAN).

The Awards program has a goal of not only highlighting the significance of these collaborations, but also to promote cooperation and shine a light on the numerous possibilities that await NSW firms in the thriving ASEAN market.
