Hello tunnel, I’m light
IT’S official, the vaccination action of the vast majority of Australians has disproven the noisy few who, quite frankly, have been far from helpful in what can only be termed a trying year. While we are not all jostling at the gate just yet, it’s almost like we can all feel the (well-filtered) air flow back into the room, and we have stories this issue to reflect that.
Stuart Loader’s launch of health food company Openway and its new approach to business is indeed a
breath of fresh air. Read all about it on page 10. Made Group, makers of Impressed, Rokeby Farms, cocobella, NutrientWater, and Loco, had a whirlwind
uptake in Japan, working with Austrade to make it happen. That’s on page 14.
And on page 16, CEO and co-founder of Brandcrush Teresa Aprile talks about how brands can breathe life into existing customer touchpoints and unlock new revenue streams with its media monetisation software.
Our Dairy Business feature looks at the state of the market, while our profile on Eden Brew explains just how you make cows milk without the cow. The section starts on page 20.
Equipment & Materials gives you the latest news and innovation from page 26, and Plant Design & Fitout brings the first update on Thomas Foods’ rebuild of its Murray Bridge facility. That’s from page 32.
There’s more in Hygiene & Safety, Beverage Production and Environment Matters, and we wrap it up with our Rear View guest, PepsiCo CEO – for a little bit longer – Danny Celoni. He’s moving over to Asahi to head CUB in the new year.
The winds of change are always swirling. Onward.
