tna marks 30 years in the global packaging business
To mark 30 years in business, Sydney-based global packaging solutions specialist tna announced it will add next-generation vertical form/fill/seal (VFFS) conveying and seasoning machines for food production to its portfolio. As global packaging revenues outstrip predicted economic growth in most other sectors, companies need to position themselves to take advantage. Celebrating 30 years in providing packaging equipment solutions, Alf Taylor, co-founder and CEO of tna, offers a unique perspective on the trends and challenges facing the industry and how he has built a multimillion dollar business operating across five continents.
The state of the worldwide packaging market today can be best summarized as fluid, Taylor says. “From a tna perspective, there has never been a better time in the last 30 years to be in packaging,” he explains. “With a diverse range of challenging manufacturers, product lines, portfolios, materials and trends in food innovation, there are naturally areas with real growth opportunity and areas where the uptake of technology and investment is fast tracked. It is a challenging environment to operate in because customers around the world are trying to achieve higher production output from existing, streamlined or reduced capital equipment.”
