ProPak Asia proved successful for the packaging companies that joined the Australian Packaging & Processing Machinery Association (APPMA) as part of the Australian Pavilion this year.

The trade show was held in Bangkok, Thailand from 14 to 17 of June, and welcomed over 2000 exhibitors from over 45 countries. 

The APPMA provided the option of either a walk-on package or custom stand for exhibitors in the Australian Pavilion.

Australian companies at the show included Fibre King, Heat and Control, tna, HMPS, Inox Australia, SMC Pneumatics, OFS, and Woolcool Australia, among many more.

HMPS MD Mark Emmett said the team "had a great week at ProPakAsia".

"It was great to meet so many customers and the interest was keen," he said. 

"We were lucky to have some Aussie visitors such as Tony Randall and James McKew from SMC Australia/ New Zealand [pictured below with Emmett, right] on our stand."

Inox Australia also had plenty of opportunities to network, and demonstrate its instant powder solution.
