What’s the best food packaging solution for your needs now? Should you invest now in meeting your needs in the future? What should you know about what you do need? What should you know to ascertain what you don’t?

Questions like these are why tna has made Paul Irwin regional sales manager for Australia.  

“Paul’s a valuable member of the tna family and we’re excited that he is heading up our sales team in Australia. His wealth of experience, product and market knowledge and enthusiasm will be a great asset to our team enabling us to take the business forward and help us stay ahead of our customers’ needs,” tna managing director, Michael Green, commented.

Irwin has grown with the company from apprentice electrician to become one of the longest serving members of the company’s technical team. He has 16 years’ experience working in Australia, the United Kingdom and the Middle East. The new position will enable him to develop tna’s commitment to its Australian customers and assist them in finding the best possible packaging and processing solutions.

Irwin’s capabilities stem from the expertise he has developed in installations, maintenance management and R&D support in many of tna’s global markets and across the entire product range. He will be based in Melbourne and responsible for regional sales of the company’s industry-leading processing and packaging systems, including the high performance tna robag 3ci VFFS bagger, the new tna roflo high throw vibratory conveyor and tna roflo horizontal motion distribution systems. Irwin will also advise customers on its seasoning solutions, such as the tna intelli-flav 5 and tna intelli-flav systems, the tna intelli-flav and tna intelli-flav closed-loop slurry and oiler seasoning solutions, as well as the tna intelli-weigh range and the tna hyper-detect high performance metal detector.

 

 

Food & Drink Business

A lot of food and beverage brands look strong when they’re small. They have one product, one pack, one clear idea and then they grow. That’s usually when things start to unravel, not all at once, but quickly enough to matter. The Creative Method founder and creative director, Tony Ibbotson, explains why – and growth is not the problem. 

Victorian-based Aquafab has completed a $620,000 Series A raise through Birchal, supported by over 300 investors. The company told Food & Drink Business that the funds will support continued national growth and plans in place to enter the US and UK markets this year.

Rumin8 is accelerating its methane reducing feed additive commercialisation progress in New Zealand, garnering $4.4 million (US$3 million) in investment as the company prepares to enter the final trial process.
