“Foodtech/Packtech was an invaluable
opportunity for SMC to connect with
customers in the region. The exhibition marks
an important date on the SMC calendar and
one which we always look forward to. Our
energy-saving and Industry 4.0 initiatives
were well received by the delegates, and
we had a busy and productive time. SMC
has enjoyed growth in market share in New
Zealand and looks forward to continuing
on this trajectory with Foodtech/Packtech
forming a major part.” - James McKew

PIONEER GROUP
“Pioneer Group had a great time at the show,
picking up many good high-quality leads. On our
stand we were able to demonstrate the new HSM
Profipack machine for turning your waste cardboard
into valuable packaging material and void fill, doing
away with the need for using plastic bubble wrap or
similar. We also exhibited some of our wheelie bin
range and vertical baler options, with the big V-Press
860 baler creating a lot of interest. Overall, a very busy
and productive three days.” - Matthew Strachan

GALA SOLUTIONS
Gavin Carragher
“We found the show to be a more successful one than
years gone by. There seemed to be more visitors from
the South Island regions, along with many new ‘startup’
businesses. That is always good to see for the New
Zealand economy, especially in the current manufacturing
market and business confidence situation…anything positive
is always good for New Zealand!” - Gavin Carragher
