WATCH: Hot tech heads to AUSPACK

A wealth of new technologies will be on display at AUSPACK 2019 in Melbourne next week. Our sister publication PKN Packaging News has created this video showcase of just some of the tech highlights of this year's big event.

Billed as the largest-ever AUSPACK, 2019 is set to be an exciting year for Australia’s leading packaging and processing event, according to the marketing director of organiser Exhibitions and Trade Fairs (ETF) Anne-Marie Mina.

“This year is the largest floor space ever, and exhibition space on the show floor still sold six months before the event,” she said.

“This is the show’s 34th year and it just keeps growing. That’s exceptional for this category of trade show, but the reason is because AUSPACK is the event that attracts key industry players, so has for many, many years been a showcase of cutting-edge, innovative packaging and processing technologies. It’s all under one roof and entry is free. It offers visitors so much value.”

PKN's inaugural Women in Packaging Awards program, which aims to foster diversity, promote innovation, and inspire future leaders in the Australian packaging industry, is now open for entries.

Packaging and processing people from around the country, and the globe, celebrated innovation at the APPMA awards last night in an atmosphere of optimism as the industry looks to a bright future. The awards were held midway through the sector's biggest ever exhibition, APPEX, which along with a dazzling array of technology, has shown how purpose, focused minds, and collaboration, can enable packaging and processing to rise to the challenges it faces.

After serving 22 years on the APPMA Board, and 14 years as chairman, Mark Dingley told the 700-plus guests at the APPMA Gala Dinner last night that he will be stepping down from his position as chairman.
