Turn your back on hate.
It would be remiss not to make mention of the
Christchurch Mosque Massacre that claimed 50
lives and it’s one of those very rare times when
this editorial will be nothing about machines, food
or processing equipment.
It’s one of those times when you sit in front of
a computer and think, ‘What words really pay
enough tribute to a tragedy like New Zealand
has never before seen?’. I’m not so sure even
Shakespeare would even know where to start.
I am sure, however, that he would have had no
trouble in the delivery of a beautiful tapestry of
prose dedicated to describing what this will mean
for New Zealand’s future. The darkest clouds
often precede the brightest dawn.
New Zealand – I believe – is about to go through
the biggest change it has ever experienced
in terms of societal interaction and how we
treat each other – how we treat all Kiwis.
Compassion… understanding… empathy…
love… they are all are in the mix and they will
all contribute to a very different landscape that I
hope will soon be the envy of the world.
To the families who lost loved ones… there
are actually no words. Just hugs. But I’m sure
I can speak for the entire food and beverage
communities in a vow to – instead - show you
change.
The team at New Zealand Food Technology
wishes to pass on a special message to all
New Zealanders, but particularly to those who
lost loved ones in the Christchurch Mosque
Massacres in March.
“We encourage the entire industry – and New
Zealand as a whole – to turn your back on hate.
Together we can eliminate discrimination based
on race, colour, religion or creed. A stronger New
Zealand… together, as one. A New Zealand that
leads the world.”
It’s a day we will never forget. It’s a day we should
never forget.

In terms of revenue, the global sachet packaging
machines market is estimated to expand at a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%.
Sachet packaging machines are basically formfill
seal machines. The form fill seal machines
market is expected to grow at a faster rate among
other machineries such as bagging and filling
machines. There are two types of sachet packaging
machines- vertical form-fill-seal machines
and horizontal form-fill-seal machines. Horizontal
sachet packaging machines are generally used for
the packaging of solid materials, whereas vertical
sachet packaging machines are used for solid,
liquid, and granulated products.
The market for vertical sachet packaging machines
is expected to grow at a high CAGR owing to the
smaller carbon foot-print as compared to horizontal
sachet packaging machines, easy-to-use features
such as improved film sealing technology and
material handling techniques and reduced number
of operations, and lower cost packaging solution.
With the ability of handling both solid and liquid
products, vertical sachet packaging machines are
projected to grow in market size at a faster rate
than horizontal sachet packaging machines.
In the developed regions such as North America
and Europe, the needs and preferences of today’s
consumers are changing. For instance, consumers
in Europe tend to pay more for products that make
their hectic, on-the-go life a bit easier. Consumers
in Europe look for more diverse choices in terms
of quality, price, and convenience. Stick packs and
sachets are preferred than family-sized packages
due to the affordability in emerging countries such
as India, Mexico, Thailand, and Indonesia.
The number of small portion, individual packages
has therefore grown in South Asia region, in the
past few years. The trend for small packages to
pack snacks has been influenced by millennial
lifestyle, demographic changes, and urbanisation in
Europe, thereby increasing the demand for sachet
packaging machines.
The hospitality industry in the developed countries
such as France, Italy, Germany and UK relies on
stick packs and sachets, where products such as
salt, sugar, coffee, milk, coffee creamers, ketchup
etc are all packaged in convenient sizes. Sachets
are also used widely for non-food goods, such as
shampoos, body lotions, shower gels, etc. The
Europe sachet packaging machines market is
expected to register a CAGR of 4.4%.
The South Asia sachet packaging machines
market includes a country-level analysis for India,
Thailand, Indonesia, and Rest of South Asia. The
sachet packaging machines market in the South
Asian region is fragmented in nature with the presence
of local food producers with medium-to-large
production capacity in the market. India represents
the highest market value share in the South Asia
sachet packaging machines market and is expected
to continue its dominance throughout the
forecast period. The South Asia sachet packaging
machines market represents the highest CAGR
in terms of value. The South Asia sachet packaging
machines market is expected to expand at a
CAGR of 8.2% over the forecast period.
