Distributer AAA Packaging Supplies has won the 2015 Australian Packaging and Processing Machinery Association’s (APPMA) Imported Equipment Excellence Award for its innovative C-One Plana Pallet Wrapper.
The award recognises the efforts of a company that promotes its overseas principal’s equipment in the Australian market. In his acceptance speech, Bruce John, national sales manager, AAA Packaging Supplies, said the company was ‘privileged and thrilled' to receive the award.
“The C-One Plana is a game changer in that it offers outstanding increases in warehouse safety, waste reduction, packaging efficiency, productivity and reliability – while remaining cost-effective,” John told Print21. “The C-One requires no loading ramp and is designed to eliminate the constant risk of danger and strain faced by ‘pick and pack’ staff when using standard pallet wrappers with loading ramps. The C-One can also result in significant reductions in film usage and wastage.”
