Orora held a gala function in Melbourne last week to recognise five top-performing suppliers as part of its Supplier of the Year Awards.
Natrio (Pro Asia Pacific) was the overall winner of the Supplier of the Year Award for 2017.
There were also category winners in four critical areas for the company, which included innovation, customer focus, working together, and commercial excellence.
