The 2015 National Technical Forums are one of AUSPACK’s greatest drawcards. This year, forty speakers from eight countries will cover the topics that matter to your business across four days, 24 to 27 March.

What are those topics? Private label packaging, chemical migration from packaging into food, lifecycle analysis, design for the ageing and understanding shelf ready packaging are just some of the subjects that will be discussed.

The Forums are not just for business owners and those who've reached the top tier. Why not send your staff along to understand more about the world of packaging.

This year’s theme, Open Innovation & Collaboration, will be the seventh and promises to continue the Forums’ history of successes.

The full programme is available to view here: National Technical Forums 2015 programme AUSPACK. 

Jane Anderson is a keynote speaker. The author of Impact: How to Build your Personal Brand in the Connection Economy, knows that, "A brand is a promise or expectation of what it would be like for people to connect with you. Success in business is all about connecting with people.” She will help you understand why and how to build yours.

Sponsors of the 2015 National Technical Forums are Integrated Machinery, GE, KHS, GunnLab, Metalprint, Rockwell Automation, UPM Raflatac, Wellman Packaging and Cormack Packaging.



Food & Drink Business

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?
