Australasia's largest packaging machinery manufacturer and integrator Foodmach has appointed Andrew Marshall as its new senior project manager.

Bringing more than 30 years of experience in project management, operations, and engineering in the food, beverage, and dairy sectors, Marshall will be an integral part of delivering Foodmach’s turnkey packaging lines.

Marshall brings industry experience having previously worked as programme manager for Lion Dairy and Drinks, national engineering development manager for Asahi and national packaging capability manager for Carlton & United Breweries. 

Foodmach COO Suren Moodley said end-to-end management is the company’s specialty. 

“The intention is for customers to deal with just one experienced supplier who gives the right advice, manages the entire process and sees it through to a successful handover with ongoing service and support. 

“Andrew’s 30 plus years of experience in strategic planning, project management and change management and his mix of engineering skills and business acumen is a game-changer for our projects team,” said Moodley. 

Marshall said he had worked with Foodmach as a customer on many challenging and complex projects and admired the company for its commitment and integrity. 

“The company has a culture of empathy for both the people it employs and the people it serves and a focus on continual improvement. It was not a hard decision to join the team. I’m excited about the challenges of working with Foodmach’s customers to ensure their manufacturing capabilities meet future-state needs,” said Marshall. 

Foodmach CEO Earle Roberts added they were honoured to have Marshall on board. 

“Having worked on the client-side of the business, Andrew knows exactly how to deliver large capital works programs and lean manufacturing methodologies,” said Roberts.
