The Maxxdrive industrial gear unit portfolio, based on the Nord Drivesystems modular system, is used when high output torques and powers are required. It covers all industrial application fields up to 282 kNm, allowing for standardised and tailor-made drive solutions.

The combination of motor, gear unit, coupling and braking system enables a precisely planned complete unit that can be supplied ready-to-install, mounted on a motor swing base or a base frame. As an alternative, the motor attachment can be realised via an IEC/NEMA adapter.

The mechanical and thermal design of all Nord industrial gear units is based on existing operating data of the application and on the ambient conditions at the installation site. This ensures maximum individualisation with the Maxxdrive portfolio, creating drive systems which aim to fulfil the highest demands in terms of reliability and long service life.

In addition, Nord also offers predictive maintenance concepts specially designed for Maxxdrive industrial gear units.

The World Packaging Organisation has named 234 winners for the WorldStar Packaging Awards 2026, which were selected from 481 entries submitted across 36 countries.

ACOR is calling on the Government to urgently introduce packaging reforms or risk the collapse of Australia’s plastic recycling sector and face millions of tonnes of plastic waste polluting the environment.

As 2025 draws to a close, it is clear the packaging sector has undergone one of its most consequential years in over a decade. Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.
