Esko Australia is hosting representatives from its global partners on its stand B170 at AUSPACK 2019, with the aim of becoming a “one-stop shop” for food processing and packaging.

Esko supplies stand-alone and turnkey equipment from suppliers such as Steriflow, Waldner, CT Pack, OMAG, Langguth, Imball, Zacmi, and Mespic; according to Esko, all are well-established with successful installations in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific islands.

Representatives from its worldwide supply partners are present at Esko’s stand to engage with customers, the company says, and potentially help guide them to solutions that may already have been proven in Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

Established in 1995, Esko Australia claims innovation is a key driver for its customers, and actively promotes its products in Australia and New Zealand. In addition to its range of equipment, the company offers after-sales support for its solutions, saying preventative maintenance is the best kind of maintenance.

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?
