But it\u2019s also important to step up and share what\u2019s new \u2013 so people can see everything up close,\u201d said Universal GM Kylie Taylor.<\/p><p>\u201cMeeting face to face can be so much more efficient and rewarding for all parties, which makes our continued investment (in Foodtech Packtech) so worth it.\u201d<\/p><p>The new equipment on display certainly made an impression on the crowds.<\/p><p><strong><b>\u201c<\/b><\/strong>The ErgoPack unit was a big hit,\u201d says Jed Goudie, our Business Manager. \u201cThe ease, speed, and efficiency of strapping pallet loads without strain or stress was easy to see.\u201d<\/p><p>Indeed, keeping things stress-free was vital. Those on our team with FTPT experience were happy to share a few tips for success, including wearing comfortable shoes and staying hydrated. It\u2019s also always important to think outside the box.<\/p><p>With a wide product range and a reputation for getting things done it\u2019s not surprising we\u2019ll often be asked about technology outside our immediate purview. One query at this year\u2019s show stood out \u2013 a request for a commercial onion peeler. \u00a0<\/p><p>Universal is obviously not in the onion peeler business, but we know what to look for when it comes to industrial equipment. So, Matt Goddin got researching and sourced two different options for the attendees. \u00a0<\/p><p>\u201cNothing\u2019s impossible,\u201d said Matt. \u201cAnd they promised me pickled onions if the guidance proved fruitful \u2013 which is an absolute win I reckon.\u201d<\/p><p>For an event with \u2018food\u2019 in the name there were attractions of the display and dietary kind also.<\/p><p>We debuted our new Mosca stainless steel strapping equipment, which is ideal to meet the hard-wearing demands of food manufacturers in New Zealand. Then there was the presence of the iconic White Lady food truck, which was welcomed by the team.<\/p><p>\u201cIt was a good excuse to have a delicious burger without having to go out on a late night in Auckland,\u201d said Jed.<\/p><p>Now we\u2019re following up new connections (be sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/universalpackaging.co.nz\/contact\/\">g<u>et in touch<\/u><\/a> if you haven\u2019t heard from us) and returning to our everyday work providing wrapping equipment and quality packaging solutions to meet the needs of Kiwi companies everywhere.<\/p><p>Thank you Foodtech Packtech 2023.
