Watching Richard Hadlee take a record 33 wickets in three tests against the Aussies? Wondering how this new-fangled \u2018GST\u2019 was going to affect business? Considering buying the first publically available shares of Microsoft?<\/p><p>For Neville Goddin, 1986 was a year of new ideas and hard graft. It was also the year when he started the company that would later grow into Universal Packaging.<\/p><p>The business was originally started as a contract packing company servicing the chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing industry out of Hamilton. In 1988 the business diversified into specialty containers and primary packaging for these industries. The next two decades were spent working hard to meet the demands of a constantly evolving packaging market.<\/p><p>In 2007 we began to focus solely on end of line packaging and rapidly grew our capability in pallet load containment products and machinery. Two years later we would become sole New Zealand distributor for Wulftec International\u2019s range of pallet wrapping and strapping machinery. In 2011 we added the renowned Spinny range to our stable.<\/p><p>Nowadays Neville\u2019s son, Matt, is helping lead the way as our Sales &amp; Marketing Manager. Having just celebrated 15 years at the company, Matt has witnessed firsthand the size of the change.<\/p><p>\u201cTransitioning from contract filling to supplying aluminum squeeze tubes to the full scope of stretch film and load containment has been a massive change,\u201d says Matt.<\/p><p>In this time there\u2019s been plenty of milestones to celebrate.<\/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-006f0e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"006f0e0\" 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<h4>\u201cI can remember the day we received an order for our first full pallet load of machine stretch wrap,\u201d Matt says. \u201cThe first Wulftec wrapper we sold happened to be the largest and most sophisticated piece of equipment they make.

Working from home was a real test. However the team stepped up and got everything done.<\/p><p>General Manager Jed Goudie believes the company\u2019s success over the years is primarily due to a few unwavering approaches to the work.<\/p><p>\u201cWe\u2019re always thinking of the customer first. What\u2019s best for them, what saves them money, reduces their waste, makes sure they can send every type of pallet with confidence,\u201d says Jed. \u201cAnd we back this approach by staying incredibly focused on technological advancement.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cIt\u2019s work that\u2019s definitely helped by the mindset of the team. It makes a huge difference to your work when you\u2019re surrounded by good folks.\u201d<\/p><p>Jed believes success over the next 35 years depends on \u201ccontinuing with the same focus and dedication to our staff, clients and suppliers.\u201d<\/p><p>It will be an exciting time, with advancements in load containment analysis, new recycling initiatives, innovative sustainability developments and plenty more to look forward to.<\/p><p>Thanks to all of those who have made these last 35 years what they were.
