Food and Drink Business is very excited to announce it will be hosting its own awards program in 2024. The Hive Awards have been created to recognise innovation and excellence in the food and beverage manufacturing sector.

Why The Hive Awards?

In developing the awards, we wanted the name to reflect the complexity, inter-connectedness, ambition, and tirelessness of Australia’s food and drink manufacturing sector.

And we couldn’t go past the concept of bees and their hive, a flawless system that runs 24/7, driven by a dedicated and determined workforce to consistently deliver a product to the highest standard.

The official launch will be in January, but you can head to The Hive Awards now and register your interest.

We already have wonderful companies on board as award sponsors:

Gold Sponsors – Combilift and Hydroflux

Silver Sponsors – Hawkins Watts Australia, Heat and Control, and Trimatt

Bronze Sponsor – Process Partners

If you would like to join them, please contact national sales manager, Sharon Amos.

 

 

Packaging News

In a collaborative effort, Kimberly-Clark Australia and Woolworths have successfully completed a packaging trial aimed at eliminating the use of secondary plastic packaging for Viva paper towels. The initiative, now set to become standard practice, is projected to save 15 tonnes of plastic annually.

John Cerini has stepped down as CEO of Pro-Pac, with Ian Shannon, who was chief operating officer of the company, taking over the role, and becoming managing director.

Sustainable packaging achievements were recognised at the APCO Annual Awards in Sydney last night. The event celebrated organisations, and individuals, driving change towards the 2025 National Packaging Targets and beyond. PKN was there.
