Gebo Cermex has launched a new value proposition called Gebo Engineering Solutions as part of a move to boost its consulting activity.

The newly formed entity offers a dual skill set of design engineers for the upstream conceptual stage and project managers for the roll-out phase.

It promises to manage all flows in and around packaging lines, including facility infrastructure, utilities, process, intralogistics, data management and industrial automation.

Gebo Cermex specialises in packaging line design and operations for the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry and now has engineering expertise in design and project management.

In the future the company plans to partner with key players in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector, ranging from alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to dairy products, personal care, home care and pharmaceuticals.

President and managing director Marc Aury says the new entity gives customers security and robust processes in their investment projects.

“The packaging industry is complicated and getting more complex by the day, and our clients have to deal with the challenge of constantly developing both productivity and flexibility,” he says.

“Gebo Engineering Solutions is an autonomous business unit within the Gebo Cermex organization and is dedicated to creating value for customers in line with the company’s three historic drivers: Asset Optimisation, Design for CAPEX and OPEX Optimisation, and Excellence in Operations.”

The Gebo Engineering Solutions team is able to identify clients’ requirements and come up with a comprehensive set of adapted solutions.

Gebo Engineering Solutions will be officially launched this month, as well as a new online platform.

Food & Drink Business

Western Australian producer, Brownes Dairy, has been put up for sale according to the Australian Financial Review (AFR), as one of its biggest lenders, China Mengniu Dairy, calls in its $200 million loan. A reduced demand for milk in China and the current positioning of the global market could be driving the decision.

The Central Coast is about to receive a boost to its local food and beverage manufacturing industry, with construction starting on the $17.14 million Food Manufacturing Innovation Hub, funded by the federal government’s National Reconstruction Fund (NFR).

The Australian Industry Group (Ai Group) says Australia is at a “critical crossroads” when it comes to R&D and decades of rhetoric have not delivered material change.
