What’s the best food packaging solution for your needs now? Should you invest now in meeting your needs in the future? What should you know about what you do need? What should you know to ascertain what you don’t?

Questions like these are why tna has made Paul Irwin regional sales manager for Australia.  

“Paul’s a valuable member of the tna family and we’re excited that he is heading up our sales team in Australia. His wealth of experience, product and market knowledge and enthusiasm will be a great asset to our team enabling us to take the business forward and help us stay ahead of our customers’ needs,” tna managing director, Michael Green, commented.

Irwin has grown with the company from apprentice electrician to become one of the longest serving members of the company’s technical team. He has 16 years’ experience working in Australia, the United Kingdom and the Middle East. The new position will enable him to develop tna’s commitment to its Australian customers and assist them in finding the best possible packaging and processing solutions.

Irwin’s capabilities stem from the expertise he has developed in installations, maintenance management and R&D support in many of tna’s global markets and across the entire product range. He will be based in Melbourne and responsible for regional sales of the company’s industry-leading processing and packaging systems, including the high performance tna robag 3ci VFFS bagger, the new tna roflo high throw vibratory conveyor and tna roflo horizontal motion distribution systems. Irwin will also advise customers on its seasoning solutions, such as the tna intelli-flav 5 and tna intelli-flav systems, the tna intelli-flav and tna intelli-flav closed-loop slurry and oiler seasoning solutions, as well as the tna intelli-weigh range and the tna hyper-detect high performance metal detector.
