Fromm Packaging Australia has strengthened its presence and service capabilities across Western Australia with the acquisition of Prime Packaging, an established packaging supplier based in Canning Vale.

Prime Packaging is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Fromm Group and brings together its local knowledge, established customer relationships, and commitment to personalised service with Fromm’s global manufacturing capabilities and product expertise.

Established in 2015, Prime Packaging has built its reputation on supplying strong brands, quality products and practical advice. Its experienced local team provides a broad range of packaging consumables, equipment and customised solutions to businesses across WA.

Fromm has been a supplier to Prime Packaging since the business began, with the relationship between the businesses and their people extending back approximately 25 years. This long-standing connection has been built on trust, product knowledge and a shared commitment to customer service.

Prime Packaging will continue to trade under its existing name for approximately the next two years before progressively becoming part of the wider Fromm Group.

During this time, customers can continue to work with the same local team and expect the quality products, competitive value, reliable supply and personalised service they have come to know.

As part of Fromm Group, Prime Packaging will have exclusive access to sell Fromm machinery, strapping and wrapping tools, and genuine spare parts. This will expand the solutions available to WA customers and provide stronger local access to equipment, technical knowledge and ongoing support.

Graeme Wood, managing director of Fromm Packaging Australia, said the acquisition was a natural fit for both businesses.

“Prime Packaging has built a strong reputation in Western Australia through its experienced team, local industry knowledge and genuine commitment to its customers,” he said.

“These are values that closely reflect the way Fromm approaches business, making this acquisition a strong strategic and cultural fit.

“By combining Prime Packaging’s established local relationships and broad packaging knowledge with Fromm’s machinery, tools, spare parts and technical capabilities, we can deliver an even more comprehensive level of service to customers across Western Australia. We look forward to supporting the Prime Packaging team as we grow together.”

According to David Johnston of Prime Packaging, the acquisition was a positive next step for the business and its customers.

“Prime Packaging and Fromm have a long-standing relationship built on trust, shared values and a commitment to looking after our customers. Fromm has been a supplier to us since we established Prime Packaging, so we know their products and their people well.

“Our team has built strong relationships and a deep understanding of the needs of Western Australian businesses. Joining Fromm Group allows us to build on that local knowledge and continue providing personalised service, while offering our customers access to Fromm’s global manufacturing capabilities and wider range of solutions.”

The acquisition forms part of Fromm Packaging Australia’s broader commitment to providing reliable packaging solutions backed by knowledgeable local support across the country.
