It was a triumph for all of industry.

A highlight of the week was an evening of celebrations at the APPMA Awards of Excellence Gala, honouring incredible achievements across the industry. 

Show organiser ETF has extended a big thank you to all visitors, exhibitors, sponsors, media partners and the Australian Packaging and Processing Machinery Association and its Board Members.
