Competing against dozens of other CGS Oris Flex Pack//Web users around the world, iMSGroup Australia took out the top prize in the Labels category for its work with TRESemme Expert Botanique shampoo brand, as well as third prize for its work with Lynx.

It was also recognised in the Specialty Packaging category for its work with Kellogg's All Bran Original. iMS Shanghai took out second prize in both the labels and Speciality Packaging categories.

Andrew Gale, technical director and joint owner of iMSGroup, accepted the awards on behalf of the team, calling it a "tremendous achievement".

"We work hard to to meet the needs and demands of our clients and winning these prizes is a real testament to the quality of work we produce," he said.

"Many of our clients view us as their brand guardians and this is a role we take very seriously.

"Our goal is to ensure that their brand is always showcased in the best, most innovative and creative way, so the solutions we offer must always be exceptional.

"CGS's ORIS FlexPack//Web software gives us cutting edge mock-up and packaging proof capability, so our clients can really see and experience their brand coming to life," Gale said.

CGS launched the awards this year as a way to highlight to brand owners the possibilities FlexPack//Web offers to packaging experts. A panel of expert jurors assessed entries across four categories: Flexible Packaging, Carton Printing, Labels and Specialty Packaging.

Food & Drink Business

Melbourne-based producer, Pure Dairy, has appointed Andrew Wellington as its new chief commercial officer, ready to support the company as it makes moves both domestically and internationally.

The largest shareholder, director, and managing director of health and wellness company Jatcorp, Zhan (Jack) Wang has resigned, effective immediately. He remains the largest shareholder. Sunny Jian Xin Liang continues as CEO.

In recent years, there has been growing recognition that food and agriculture should be viewed not solely as economic sectors but as pillars of national resilience and security. The combined pressures of geopolitical tensions, natural disasters, tech vulnerabilities, and climate change are driving broader recognition of sovereign risk in food production and supply chains, placing it alongside traditional domains of national defence and security.
