ProPak Asia 2018 is in full swing, and Australian companies are ready to do business in a market that is showing increasing demand for our packaging and processing expertise.

Australian Packaging and Processing Machinery Association (APPMA) members have a strong presence at the show, located in the Australian pavilion, with two members hosting independent stands (tna Solutions and Heat and Control).

The APPMA developed the pavilion as a way to assist Australian packaging and processing manufacturers and distributors to showcase their products and companies to the Asian market.

This year, the pavilion has expanded to include three new members, Profile Solutions, the Natec Network (which includes Gold Peg and Natec) and Process Plant. Other exhibitors include Rhima Australia, Fibre King, HMPS, and INOX Australia.

Scroll through the images in the gallery above to see who's there.

Food & Drink Business

CCEP has completed a $39.7m manufacturing upgrade at its Kewdale facility in WA, installing a high-speed can production line that increases capacity by more than 40% and lifts production speeds to 1500 cans per minute.

Nearly 6 in 10 Aussies in food and beverage manufacturing believe their organisation is becoming less productive, despite continued investment in workplace technology, according to Argon & Co.

Every food, drink, personal care and household product made in Australia starts with an investment decision. A company chooses to replace a production line, automate a process or expand a plant. That choice is now made in a global market for capital, and Australia is struggling to compete. The question is simple. Will the next generation of manufacturing investment come here?
