Bosch Australia Manufacturing Solutions (BAMS) has partnered with Bradman Lake Group to provide integrated packaging automation systems for manufacturers in Australia and New Zealand.
The partnership brings together Bradman Lake’s packaging machinery with BAMS’ local automation and engineering capability. The companies aim to offer a coordinated approach across the packaging process, from primary product handling through to palletising.
The scope includes robotic feeding and flow wrapping, cartoning and sleeving systems, and end-of-line case packing. By linking these stages through a single engineering framework, the partners say manufacturers can avoid integration challenges that often arise when sourcing separate machines from multiple international suppliers.
Bradley Trewin, head of sales, marketing and key account programs at Bosch Australia Manufacturing Solutions, said the partnership provides local support for manufacturers adopting international packaging technology.
“By formalising this partnership, we are ensuring that manufacturers in Australia and New Zealand no longer have to navigate the complexities of integrating international technology in isolation,” he said.
“Our focus is on providing a unified engineering front that manages the lifecycle of the equipment from the initial design phase through to local commissioning and long-term servicing.”
Bradman Lake, a UK-based packaging machinery company with a 75-year history, will provide its engineered systems through BAMS’ Australian infrastructure.
BAMS operates from the Manufacturing Automation Centre in Clayton, Victoria, where its engineering team will support installation, commissioning and servicing of the systems for the ANZ market.
According to the companies, the partnership is intended to support manufacturers in sectors such as bakery, pharmaceutical and chilled foods, where consistent production throughput is required.
The companies say the collaboration will provide manufacturers with access to feasibility studies, site-specific commissioning and ongoing support, including a 24/7 technical hotline and system modernisation as production needs change.
