PERFECTLY FORMED VACUPACK, OVER 30 YEARS IN AUSTRALIA AND GROWING
Packaging is one of those industries where local production is both active and viable. Especially now, as the Australian dollar makes local manufacturing affordable once more. Many of the world’s best known FMCG brands – brands like Simplot, Pepsi Co, Coca Cola, General Mills, Bega – choose to design and manufacture their packaging right here. Vacupack, a manufacturer of thermoformed plastic packaging for the FMCG, retail and medical markets, is a family-owned business breaking the mould and growing. With a modern production facility housing state- of-the-art technology, Vacupack sits on par with the best international packaging manufacturers as well as the big locals.
STATE-OF-THE-ART PACKAGING TECHNOLOGY IN AUSTRALIA
For over 30 years, Vacupack has built an enviable reputation for in-house design excellence and world-class tooling that produces consistently high quality packaging. When you speak to Vacupack’s customers (a who’s who of the FMCG industry) there is unanimous praise for what they do. For a start, Vacupack’s machines are some of the best in the world. Usually found only in innovative technology-led markets like Europe, Vacupack’s investment in world-class technology has been part of the strategy from the start. The volume output from the Melbourne facility is as fast, if not faster than that of much larger operations, and the product is rated consistently high by customers for whom reliability and quality are paramount. Many of these customers have been with Vacupack for a number of years, a loyalty earned through a steadfast business orientation that sees the customer at the centre.
STRICT CLEAN ROOM 7000 ENVIRONMENT
Too often, food contamination and similar scares make global headlines. The cost to repair damaged reputations can be as high as the cost to conduct mass product recalls. Vacupack are one of the very few packaging manufacturers that enforce stringent hygiene guidelines across the facility. The Clean Room ‘Class 7000’ production environment is strictly maintained, with all staff and visitors following safety procedures on site and throughout the packaging process. This is a critical requirement and an area where Vacupack is a leader.
INNOVATION WITH PURPOSE
Many of Vacupack’s customers face constant pressure to innovate, while at the same time keep costs to a minimum. There is margin squeeze in the supply chain and for many businesses this calls for lean manufacturing internally and constant adaptation of business models. In working with Vacupack, clients love sitting at the table with world-class designers who come up with packaging solutions that address industry demands and are realistic commercially. Vacupack has a reputation for bringing creative and cost effective packaging solutions to customers, and delivering them from concept to production. Sometimes it only takes a slight change and improvement in the packaging process to have a massive impact on the customer’s bottom line. It takes a skilled professional to see that and Vacupack has just such a team.
NEW PREMISES SPURRED BY GROWTH
In early 2014, Vacupack moved into a new, state-of-the-art premises in Melbourne. This new, much larger facility accommodates the ever-growing business with space, greater production efficiency, more storage areas, continued clean room production. All in a modern facility where customers are welcome and encouraged to tour around.
