A tray sealing machinery partnership has been formed between Sydney-based packaging machinery company Perfect Automation and UK tray sealing manufacturer Packaging Automation.
Perfect Automation will represent Packaging Automation and its range of tray sealing and pot filling machines in Australia.
Perfect Automation supplies, installs and integrates a range of packaging solutions, and designs custom machinery to suit individual requirements.
Packaging Automation director Sam Ashton believes there are "major markets" waiting to be tapped in Australia.
"I know our innovative, flexible, high-speed machinery will be well-received by a customer base going through a period of rapid change," she said.
"We're seeing many products moving to new packaging formats such as film-sealed trays and plastic pots, which give consumers greater convenience.
"There is also an accelerated trend in the switch from clam shell packs for fresh produce to film-sealed packs.
"This is driven by the need to reduce the cost of packaging.’’
