The AIP would like to take this opportunity to welcome Chengyun Liu MAIP, Product Development Engineer, Amcor and Jamie-Lee Hayes MAIP, Executive Assistant – Business Development Unit, Plasdene Glass-Pak to the Institute and share a little bit about who they are and what they do in the industry. Please join with us in welcoming them to the AIP.

Why did you join the AIP? What benefits do you believe the AIP offers all their members?

Chengyun:
The AIP is the organisation for packaging professionals. It provides opportunities to better understand the developments in the packaging industry and offers more chances for personal and professional growth.

Jamie-Lee:
Being new to the packaging industry, it was recommended by my superiors to join AIP. It is important for our company to have a representative that participates in the regular webinars and training courses AIP provides to assist with the ever-growing, ever-important sustainability aspect of the packaging industry. In addition, part of my role is to assist with business development, therefore having regular market industry updates from the AIP is very helpful.

How long have you been in the industry? What are your areas of expertise?

Chengyun:
I have been in packaging industry for over 5 years and my areas are mainly focused on new resin formulation for flexible packaging film and corresponding product safety assurance.

Jamie-Lee:
I recently commenced employment with Plasdene in January 2024, prior to doing so I was working in the legal industry as an Associate Lawyer specialising in personal injury compensation law. This has therefore been a big shift for me and joining the AIP has allowed me to gain knowledge and understanding of the packaging industry whilst I ‘hit the ground running’ in my new career path.

What is your current job role and what are your responsibilities?

Chengyun:
My current role is product development engineer and my responsibilities are design and produce the new trial and corresponding production.
