In a LinkedIn post<\/a>, the company described the transaction as a \u201cstrategic step\u201d to strengthen its position in the market that will improve its product and technical know-how in food packaging.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The addition of UPAC\u2019s expertise provides a single supply point for vital manufacturing supplies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

UPAC has been involved in food packaging for more than five decades and focuses on printed food packaging, including printed\u202fbags and flexible formats.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

This experience will enhance Foodcare\u2019s ability to provide consultative support to customers, for dealing with complex packaging needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Founded in 2004, Foodcare operates as a manufacturer and distributor of production-critical consumables for the Australian food and beverage manufacturing sector.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Impak Films, founded in 2005 by Andy Newman and Brian Christy, will retain its operational independence and employees upon acquisition.\u202fIt will continue operations from its Tullamarine facility in Victoria.\u202f\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n

In early 2025, Australian sustainable disposable packaging company\u202fBioPak purchased domestic<\/a> peer Bygreen, the country\u2019s top importer of eco-friendly straws, barware and wooden tableware.\u00a0<\/p>\n
