Branded cable and connector systems company Lapp has this month opened a new Australian operation.

 

The company, which makes branded cable and connector systems and integrated electrical and automation engineering solutions, has moved into its new 3100m2 headquarters at Eastern Creek, Sydney.

 

Lapp Australia said the new subsidiary would work to meet demand nationally for technologies used in future-focused areas of industry such as automation, robotics, energy management, data distribution and intelligent manufacturing; buildings, infrastructure and process engineering.

 

Lapp Australia general manager Simon Pullinger said the new facility would bring “new levels of service and choice to the Australian market, offering strong inventory of over 1000 product lines onshore as well as direct access to more than 40,000 standard items from Lapp’s global ranges”.

Packaging News

Following the voluntary administration of Recycling Plastics Australia and confirmation that no Commonwealth packaging scheme will be introduced this term, voices from across the packaging and recycling value chain have delivered a blunt assessment of what is at stake.

Pact Group CEO and managing director Sanjay Dayal has advised the board that he intends to leave the company, with an executive search now under way for his successor.

With a Commonwealth packaging scheme ruled out this term, pressure is building ahead of the 18 September Environment Ministers Meeting, as industry, recyclers and environmental groups demand clarity on what meaningful national reform can still be delivered – and when.
