• Stainless steel frame and components

• Ultra-compact design

• 4 & 6 pack configurations

• Can apply PakTech and Biopak can holders

• 375ml to 500ml can heights

• Up to 8000 cans per hour (matching 5 cases/min of Little Packer Case Packer)

From 1 July 2026, the excise remission cap for eligible brewers and distillers will be lifted by $50,000 to $400,000. The Wine Equalisation Tax producer rebate will also be increased.

Sydney Brewery has acquired the Rocks Brewing Company’s production facilities and venue in Alexandria, and plans to open a new Lovedale brewhouse by Easter, citing a massive increase in demand for its products as the reason for expansion.

The Arnott’s Group says its latest multi-million-dollar manufacturing facility will fuel the company’s growth ambitions in the better-for-you market segment. It will house Good Food Partners, Arnotts’ cereals, snacks and bars business.
