The Australian Food & Grocery Council (AFGC) State of the Industry Report 2016 stated that capital investment in the food and beverage sector had declined significantly for three years and is now back to levels not seen since the middle of the GFC in 2009-10.

The AFGC’s report prompted the PKN Packaging News and Food & Drink Business Packaging Technology Survey 2017.

In this survey, we sought input from industry to gain insight into current Australian industry practices, drivers and future plans related to the purchase of packaging line equipment and robotics automation technology.
