Germany-based Manroland Web Systems has launched what it claims is a "a one-stop solution" for the packaging printing industry.

For applications ranging from board to foil printing, an optimised arrangement of presses with offset, flexo, and gravure printing units in hybrid configuration is available.

The PECOM-X drive, operation, and workflow management system is the basis for combining various components from Manroland Web Systems into a one-system solution.

The first press of the new generation has been sold with Offset and Gravure printing units for the flexible packaging industry.

The most modern of the company's pre-setting, regulating and control systems enable waste reduction of double digit figures.

An integral component of the one-stop solution is the globally available Life-Time-Service package, which is strongly linked with the automation of the press.

Food & Drink Business

Australia has long been a major exporter of fresh produce, with its agricultural sector playing an important role in supplying global food markets. Lineage director business development, Christian Rossow, looks at why the infrastructure connecting producers to ports and global supply chains is just as vital as product quality.

A lot of food and beverage brands look strong when they’re small. They have one product, one pack, one clear idea and then they grow. That’s usually when things start to unravel, not all at once, but quickly enough to matter. The Creative Method founder and creative director, Tony Ibbotson, explains why – and growth is not the problem. 

Victorian-based Aquafab has completed a $620,000 Series A raise through Birchal, supported by over 300 investors. The company told Food & Drink Business that the funds will support continued national growth and plans in place to enter the US and UK markets this year.
