Bonfiglioli NZ has promoted Paul Savage, who joined Bonfiglioli NZ in 2008 as the company’s national sales manager, to the role of New Zealand country manager.

In his new role, Savage says he aims to continue to make Bonfiglioli “the most trusted and reliable supplier of industrial geared motor products in New Zealand”.

“I’m very passionate about Bonfiglioli. The company has an extensive product range which allows our involvement in such a wide range of industry sectors and applications,” said Savage.

“I enjoy meeting people and being part of finding the best solutions for product development, product performance and reliability. It is my goal to develop the NZ team and to apply the values that guide me – accountability, trust, and respect for others.

“It’s the whole team’s job to build long-lasting relationships with our customers, adding value to their business, and fostering partnerships where we are all successful in achieving our goals. Having a close connection with our valued OEMs and end users, and understanding their individual businesses, is key to our success.”

Savage will oversee and manage a team of 13 staff (including storemen, mechanical assemblers, internal and external sales), as well as manage production and drive the overall efficiency of the operation.

“We are delighted to have Paul back at the helm,” says Bonfiglioli Australia and New Zealand MD, Martin Broglia.

“His experience and expertise make him an asset to the company, and we look forward to continued expansion for the New Zealand branch, under his guidance.”

Every participant across the food and packaging industry supply chain must ensure foreign contaminants are not present in the products companies deliver to their customers. Eric Confer from Eriez outlines the best practices processing plants use today to achieve the highest product purity and avoid costly tramp metal damage by using magnetic separators and metal detectors.

Wild abalone fishery and undersea wine company, Rare Foods Australia (RFA), says a downturn in global seafood demand, supply challenges, and the significant cost of being listed on the ASX are behind its decision to delist.

TasFoods says its petfood brands, Isle and Sky and Pet Treats, will benefit from its sales and distribution agreement with Natures Best (Tas) due to its “significant” retail network. Pet Solutions International is Natures Best’s parent company.
