It's been a successful show for OEM Recopack, who confirmed sales of its new fully automatic case over packers off the stand.

The modular machine can be customised to customers' requirements, and accommodate almost any type of packaging format.

Bill Dopper, MD of Recopack, spoke to PKN about the machine on the show floor:

"Apart from our existing customers, we've met a number of manufacturers for the first time," he said.

"Had we not been here, we wouldn't have made some of these contacts.

"In terms of solid leads, it's been a really good show for us."

Coles has become the first major Australian retailer known to have stopped selling krill oil products, following written confirmation from its sustainability team that the products are no longer sold.

Maggie Beer Holdings (MBH) has appointed Chris Illman as managing director as the company focuses on returning to positive earnings and progressing the sale of its Hampers & Gifts Australia business.
