Auspack has announced it will join a network which helps processing and packaging trade shows share information and experiences.

Called The Network, the initiative offers to help members build relationships and share their experiences of major international events.
 
Since its launch in April, The Network has already brought together 11 shows in seven countries, and more exhibitions are due to follow.
 
According to organisers, Auspack opted to join The Network to expand its international reach and encourage the sharing of helpful information with others like them.

Auspack 2017, run by Exhibitions & Trade Fairs, will open its doors at the Sydney Showground from 7-11 March. Over 7000 buyers are expected to attend the event, where the focus will be on the entire processing and packaging value chain.

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?
