At the September 2014 APPMA AGM, Australian Packaging and Processing Machinery Association (APPMA) appointed the general manager of Integrated Machinery, Samantha Saunders, to its board.

Integrated Machinery has been manufacturing pallet wrapping equipment in Australia for twenty-five years. Saunders has been part of that for the last ten years.

Before Integrated Machinery, Saunders spent ten years at Amcor in a number of commercial and management roles. 

Saunders acknowledged that joining the APPMA board will allow her the opportunity to help promote the packaging and processing industry.

“I hope to encourage new members to join the APPMA, foster relationships between existing members and work with my fellow Board members to strengthen the APPMA for the benefit of current and future member companies,” she stated.
