Print and packaging industry equipment supplier J.L. Lennard has signed up to distribute in Australasia products from one of the world’s longest established and most innovative specialists in inks, Royal Dutch Printing Ink Factories Van Son.

J.L. Lennard says the inks will offer high performance and reliability for such applications as packaging printing using offset and flexo plates.

J.L. Lennard Graphics general manager, Tony Colella, says Van Son, founded in 1873, offers a wide portfolio of innovative products with particular attention to quality standards.

“Van Son’s innovation and focus on value and quality is clearly evident in the initial ranges of products that J.L. Lennard graphics will introduce to Australasia, including: Quick Son Supreme series of process inks; Sonadry waterless printing inks; VS Zero Ink Series which are free of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and intense black inks.

“The initial range will be expanded where required as the market appreciates the advantages of quality, performance and consistency that lesser brands have never been able to match,” Colella says.

In addition to graphics machinery, J.L. Lennard also supplies food and beverage processing, packaging and engineering technology through its packaging machines, food equipment and engineering divisions.

The Federal Court has found Coles Supermarkets made false or misleading representations in its ‘Down Down’ promotional program, handing the ACCC a significant win in proceedings that have been closely watched across the retail and manufacturing sectors.

SPC Global (ASX: SPG) has launched a fully underwritten $100 million equity raising, with the bulk of proceeds earmarked for net debt reduction as the company works to reset its balance sheet less than 18 months after listing on the ASX.

The federal government released its 2026 budget last week, with longstanding issues in the food and beverage sector mostly overlooked in favour of the critical supply chain challenges arising from the Middle East conflict.
