Pakaflex Pty Ltd announced today that it has agreed to a strategic partnership with Safepak Pty Ltd to continue the manufacture and supply of their printed film products.  Safepak has operated some nine extruders, printers and bag-makers from its Dandenong factory for nearly 20 years and has a well established client base of prominent companies.  Safepak's Dandenong site will be closed in December and the necessary equipment for production will be moved to Pakaflex’s Mitcham factory as soon as possible.  This will complement Pakaflex's new state of the art printers and enable world-class cost and quality of manufacture.

Managing Director of Pakaflex, Mr Andrew Hamer said today that “This is a major strategic move, and allows Pakaflex to dramatically increase capacity and capability to supply customers.  We expect to have the transfer and installation of Safepak machinery complete by the end of January.  In the meantime we will be working with Safepak to ensure the smooth transfer of customers, equipment and product know-how.  We will be contacting customers as soon as possible to discuss their transitional requirements.  We look forward to welcoming these new customers and to demonstrate to them our commitment to quality and service.”

Communication with customers and suppliers of Safepak regarding how the changes will affect them will be made over the next few weeks.
