As the General Manager of Asia Pacific\u2019s biggest stretch film producer, he oversees plants in multiple countries and offices on different continents. Until recently a lot of his time has been spent traversing the globe, pushing the boundaries in how pallet wrap can continue to prevent damage in the most efficient way possible.<\/strong><\/p><p>Universal Packaging has been working with David for over a decade now. We\u2019re constantly impressed with the dedication and expertise he brings to solving stretch film challenges and his insistence on quality and performance.<\/p><p>It was David\u2019s striving for perfection that resulted in Nanowrap first being produced. The 33 layer and subsequent 55 layer nanotech pallet film has revolutionised the efficiency and safety of packaging here in New Zealand.<\/p><p>After a hectic couple of years we thought it was the perfect time to sit down with David to discuss how his company continues to push the limits of what\u2019s possible in packaging.<\/p><p><strong>Why did you start a career in the stretch film industry?<\/strong><\/p><p>\u201cSince it\u2019s the family business I was always going to be working here. However I started my career in the local banking industry. This gave me valuable experience and insight into running a business \u2013 and what makes a successful one.\u201d<\/p><p><strong>Tell us a little about your day-to-day at work \u2013 what are your key focuses for each day?<\/strong><\/p><p>\u201cMy day to day focus is on business development, making sure we\u2019re moving in the right direction and are serving our customers well. Our business comprises 85% exports, so I\u2019ve traditionally been moving from one international market to another each day.<\/p><p>These markets are all quite different so I\u2019m always coordinating with the R&amp;D and marketing teams to ensure we absolutely understand what each part of the world needs. It\u2019s why before the various lockdowns globally I was always travelling, which I certainly like. In the year before Covid hit I had spent 250 days abroad.\u201d\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>What do you take the most pride in?<\/strong><\/p><p>\u201cA massive part of our work is in research and development. Here it\u2019s actually quite simple. We don\u2019t focus on wrap. We focus on solutions for our customers.<\/p><p>However achieving those solutions often takes lots of hard work! And we often have to step into the unknown to get it done. I\u2019m probably most proud of this mindset.<\/p><p>It\u2019s not always easy being first in the market, and there\u2019s often a big investment needed. The team here has the expertise and passion to give us the confidence in making this investment. So we can reach the solutions needed to drive our customer\u2019s businesses forward.\u201d<\/p><p><strong>How much importance is placed on innovation there?\u00a0<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>\u201cIt\u2019s everything. We set up the Newton Centre testing facility in 2016 to ensure our customers have absolute peace of mind our stretch wrap could do what they needed from it.<\/p><p>Globally there are very few testing labs like this. As far as I know there\u2019s one in Northern America and two in Europe. With the team and the equipment here we can test a huge range of real-life packaging situations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-060fe08 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"060fe08\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b334e1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6b334e1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"663\" height=\"373\" src=\"https:\/\/universalpackaging.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20180522_152005__ResizedImageWzY2MywzNzNd.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7737\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universalpackaging.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20180522_152005__ResizedImageWzY2MywzNzNd.jpg 663w, https:\/\/universalpackaging.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20180522_152005__ResizedImageWzY2MywzNzNd-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 663px) 100vw, 663px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Newton Centre testing facility, Malaysia. <\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a144430 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"a144430\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-636fae6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"636fae6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>How has the industry changed over the last decade?<\/strong><\/p><p>\u201cThe major change over the last two to three years has been that big brands now have sustainability policy goals.

By mid-2022 the U.K will be taxing producers of plastics that have less than 30% recycled material.\u201d<\/p><p><strong>What are the main misconceptions of stretch wrap?<\/strong><\/p><p>\u201cIn the wider global distribution industry I\u2019d say that there\u2019s still often a harmful preoccupation with cost per roll when it comes to stretch wrap. I\u2019d say that fifty percent of people don\u2019t really understand how Nanowrap works, and why it\u2019s important that it works like it does.<\/p><p>So our job is to constantly educate the market as to why the \u2018cheapest isn\u2019t the best\u2019 \u2013 and the actual costs to their business of product damage through inferior wrap product and application.\u201d<\/p><p><strong>Can you tell us a little about the wood-based films you have in development?<\/strong><\/p><p>\u201cA few years ago there was a big push from one supplier to move into a biowrap that used sugar cane as a raw material. However some of the sugar cane being sourced might otherwise have made its way into the food chain. So the end result was more negative than many companies first thought.<\/p><p>We\u2019re currently working in Europe on bio-based resins from wood waste, which is a by-product of the forestry industry that doesn\u2019t compete with food production.<\/p><p>Sustainability should be holistically practiced and this approach will deliver a more positive impact. It\u2019s this type of innovation that will help companies in achieving their sustainability goals.\u201d<\/p><p>\u00a0<strong>How have you found working with Universal Packaging?<\/strong><\/p><p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been working closely with them for around ten years now. In that time we have introduced a number of different products and both companies have succeeded and grown. It\u2019s been quite a journey.<\/p><h4>Understanding the different cultures and needs of a worldwide market means staying close to your industry partners.<\/h4><p>Some of the (Universal Packaging) team came to the opening of our new facility in 2017. It was a good opportunity to show them behind the scenes and to talk about what was happening in New Zealand.<\/p><p>Understanding the different cultures and needs of a worldwide market means staying close to your industry partners. It\u2019s why we really value the close relationships we\u2019ve built over the years. It\u2019s important we can tap into the expertise of the various markets.<\/p><p>And it\u2019s amazing how everything is connected. This is particularly true of United States where, while the market is big, the circle is small. Everyone knows everyone in the stretch wrap community. We have to work together to get the most from our efforts.\u201d<\/p><p><strong>How have the challenges of Covid-19 affected operations?<\/strong><\/p><p>\u201cWe have had a very, very busy year. With retail operations changing, the movement of goods is changing too, and packaging needs have increased with this.<\/p><p>However the obvious test from the Covid-19 pandemic has been dealing with freight issues. The international supply chain is facing various challenges and the costs associated with raw materials are rising as a consequence. We\u2019re working hard to stay highly competitive while helping our customers to cope with the market conditions, but the reality is that some costs continue to rise.\u201d<\/p><p><strong>Where do you see the future of packaging going?<\/strong><\/p><p>\u201cThere will be an increasingly concentrated focus on sustainability and accountability. That means knowing exactly how much wrap is going on, tracking every pallet using more advanced technology. While Europe is at the forefront of this movement it\u2019s expected the rest of the world will gain momentum to keep pace with this change.<br \/>In April we launched our very own sustainability programs under the theme #LiveGreen. While continuing our internal sustainability culture and efforts we also want to continue to help our customers move forward. Together we can make sustainability more achievable, more consistent and more effective in the long-term.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-332d453 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"332d453\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"649\" height=\"365\" src=\"https:\/\/universalpackaging.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC00375_25-resized__ResizedImageWzY0OSwzNjVd.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7735\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universalpackaging.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC00375_25-resized__ResizedImageWzY0OSwzNjVd.jpeg 649w, https:\/\/universalpackaging.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC00375_25-resized__ResizedImageWzY0OSwzNjVd-300x169.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 649px) 100vw, 649px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"> Jed, Matt and Garth from the Universal Packaging sales team along with David and his father, PK Ang. <\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-45a26aa\" data-id=\"45a26aa\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d80fd4a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d80fd4a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>&#8220;A massive part of our work is in research and development.
