Recognised by its distinctive chameleon logo, Matthews Intelligent Identification is a major sponsor of AUSPACK 2019, and will use the platform to make a major milestone announcement.

In January the business confirmed it was preparing to reveal details of a milestone event at AUSPACK’s opening day, 26 March.
 
“Since our beginnings nearly 40 years ago, Matthews has continuously focused on adapting technologies and solutions to benefit Australian manufacturers. Adapting and looking forward are key for us and we are very excited about making our announcement to the industry," said CEO Mark Dingley.

“Matthews has secured a large space close to the AUSPACK trade entrance to maximise participation in this important moment for the business. We invite all AUSPACK delegates to attend the special event, which will occur on the Matthews stand, D140, during morning tea on the show’s first day: 10:45am, Tuesday 26 March.”

AUSPACK is one of the southern hemisphere’s largest packaging and processing exhibitions, and Matthews has been a principal exhibitor for many years.
