Label Power is bringing its Melbourne operation, Action Labels & Nameplates, under its own branding from 1 October, four years after it acquired the business.

James Malone, owner of Brisbane-based Label Power, said the move to one brand will mean improved service, and expanded product range, quicker turnaround, and a Melbourne showroom for all its products.

Malone said, “The merger will bring together the best of both companies, allowing us to offer enhanced customer service and support, and will allow your business access to a much wider range of label and tag stocks, materials as well as in house label printing and cutting solutions.

“Our combined operations will ensure faster production and delivery, so you can get your printed products when you need them, and all our most popular DT, TT and colour label printers will be on display in our new Melbourne showroom.”

Food & Drink Business

The Senate Economics Committee has rejected the Food Donations Bill that proposed a tax offset for companies donating excess food to food relief agencies rather than dumping it. While the bill had the potential to deliver the equivalent of 100 million meals to food relief organisations, the committee said it had “serious concerns” including the bill’s “generous” tax concessions. Food relief agencies and social welfare organisations have questioned the committee’s decision to reject the bill outright rather than make recommendations for amendments.  

The winners of the 62nd annual Australian Export Awards were announced in Canberra yesterday, featuring three winners from the food sector – including dessert manufacturer Frosty Boy Global, in the Agribusiness, Food and Beverages category.
