ProPak Asia 2016 to feature Australian Pavilion

Australia’s packaging and processing industry is set to receive a boost, with an Australian Pavilion to be featured at the ProPak Asia 2016 exhibition.

ProPak Asia is an international processing and packaging trade event for Asia’s expanding food, drink and pharmaceutical industries, which will be held 15–18 June in Bangkok, Thailand.

The Australian Pavilion has been launched by the Australian Packaging and Processing Machinery Association (APPMA), which identified a need to help Australian manufacturers and distributors to showcase their products and companies to the Asian market in an affordable way.

Confirmed pavilion participants include: HMPS, Adaptapack, Rhima, Confoil, Accupack, the APPMA and the Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP). Outside of the pavilion other APPMA member companies such as tna, Heat and Control and Fibre King will also be exhibiting at the show.

Many of the Australian participants will take the opportunity to launch new products at the exhibition.

Engineering solution provider AccuPak will launch the PLAGe, an entry-level evolution of its PLAG sugar linear weigher.

Confoil will be showcasing its range of Dualpak paperboard trays, pulp trays, as well as accompanying sealing machinery.

HMPS will launch the collaborative assembly robot YuMi. YuMi is a collaborative, dual-arm, small parts assembly robot solution that includes flexible hands, parts feeding systems, camera-based part location and state-of-the-art robot control.

Equipment washing systems specialist Rhima Australia will launch its Revolutionary Tray Washers for bakeries at the event.

APPMA and AIP will also highlight their services at the exhibition, with APPMA launching its 2016 Member Directory and AIP announcing its Education & Training Courses for the Asian Region.

ProPak Asia 2016 has six dedicated zones: DrinkTechAsia, FoodTechAsia, Lab&TestAsia, PackagingMaterialsAsia, PharmaTechAsia and PrintTechAsia, to highlight growing demand from these sectors.
