The Australian Pouch Company (Auspouch) is featuring its key partners on stand G060 at Auspack this year, in the fields of food processing, filling, and handling.

With its thirty years in the flexible packaging industry, Auspack has developed key partnerships in food manufacturing, processing and filling technology as well as end-of-line automation for food and non-food applications, the company says.

These partners include Gualapack, spouted pouch technology specialists, who will announce a new, faster eight-head filler plus other packaging innovations; end-of-line automation experts GPI, who have a range of case packing and palletising solutions, wrap-around machines, forming units and AGVs; Martini SRL, known for vertical form fill and seal solutions for pasta, who will exhibit the Unica700 VFFS machine that can create five different pack styles from reel stock; and Plexpack Corporation, which manufactures flexible packaging solutions including Emplex bag and pouch sealers, vacuum sealers, and Damark shrink wrap and bundling systems.

According to Auspouch, its focus is on providing quality functional solutions to packaging needs.

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?
