British manufacturer, Packaging Automation (PA) which has a virtually unrivalled reputation for quality and choice in the tray sealing market across the UK, and further afield is setting out on an exciting road which it hopes will give it similar prestige in targeted export markets.

The company has signed an exclusive agreement with with Sydney based Perfect Automation Pty Ltd to represent PA and its range of tray sealing and pot filling machines in the Australian market.

Perfect Automation was chosen due to its reputation as a professional, reliable and service oriented organisation with an ability to offer local aftermarket service and support.

Perfect Automation supply, install and integrate a wide range of packaging solutions as well as design custom machinery to suit individual requirements.

Packaging Automation’s Commercial Director Sam Ashton is adamant there are major markets waiting to be tapped in Australia.  She says: “I know that our innovative, flexible, high speed machinery will be well received by a customer base going through a period of rapid change. We are seeing many products moving to new packaging formats such as film sealed trays and plastic pots which give consumers greater convenience. There is also an accelerated trend in the switch from clam shell packs for fresh produce to film sealed packs which is being driven by the need to reduce the cost of packaging.’’

She adds: ‘‘We were extremely impressed with the reputation that Perfect Automation has within the Australian packaging machinery sector and coupled with their experience of working with other established manufacturers  gave us every confidence in developing our business relationship.”
