APPMA Awards of Excellence

The APPMA Awards of Excellence is the national awards program for the Australian packaging and processing industry, recognising excellence, innovation, leadership and best practice.

The awards program is conducted by the Australian Packaging and Processing Machinery Association (APPMA) and is an opportunity for the packaging and processing industry to celebrate industry wins and achievements, foster innovation and collaboration and raise the profile of our sector.

The awards have broadened for 2022, seeking out and recognising industry innovation, and celebrating success across a wide spectrum of the packaging and processing industry. There are now eight awards on offer, with categories changed from the five awards open in 2019.
