J.L. Lennard has merged its Packaging Machinery Division in New Zealand with Tech-Pack (NZ), a well-established supplier of filling and packaging machinery.
The new business – J.L Lennard Packaging, a division of the Australasian network of J.L. Lennard Limited – will extend the long-held customer service philosophies of both companies, specialising in the efficient execution of contracts ranging from the supply of single machines through to the design, supply and installation of complete packaging lines on a turnkey basis.
Leadership of the new business will continue under Phil Lea, according to MD of J.L. Lennard, David Boekemann.
“Phil has spent over 30 years in the packaging industry in NZ, with particular expertise in the plastics and materials area and with a strong background and understanding of machinery to assist our customers with their requirements,” Boekemann said.
Customers will also gain the full backing of the Australasian network of J.L. Lennard, which is one of Australia’s leading suppliers of packaging machinery and food service equipment through offices in five states.
J.L. Lennard Packaging will represent some of the world’s leading names in Packaging Machinery including:
Rovema – Vertical Form Fill Seal Machines
Multipond – Multihead Weighers and Feeding Systems
Fawema – Pre-Made Bag Packaging Machines
Stephan Machinery – Food Processing Machinery and Technology
Hunter Filling Systems – Liquid Filling Machines
Thermo Scientific – Product Inspection Systems
Strapack – Strapping Machines
“Offering access to a very broad and complementary range of brands available from one supplier, J.L. Lennard Packaging we will be at the edge of innovation. Our ranges of advanced, cost-efficient and environmentally sustainable packaging solutions are backed nationally by our strong Australasian service and support network,” Boekemann said.
J.L Lennard Packaging will operate from Lennard’s new premises at 218 Marua Rd, Mt Wellington, which is a modern office and warehouse with spare parts and workshop facilities. It is also headquarters of J.L. Food equipment, which distributes and supports food equipment for major restaurants, Quick Service Restaurants (QSR), hotels and retail food outlets in New Zealand.
