Cama Group commits to servicing the Australian packaging machinery market

European packaging machinery supplier Cama Group has recently opened an Australian office to service the local market. Cama is a family-owned private company, whose core business is the engineering and production of complete high-technology secondary packaging systems and machinery. It designs and develops packaging machines and robotic systems for use in food and non-food industries, and covers the primary and secondary packaging processes. The Cama Group is headquartered in Italy, with subsidiaries in France, United Kingdom, Germany, Thailand, United States, China and now in Australia.

Since 1981, Cama has offered complete system solutions for automated packaging systems, and it is now considered one of the top-tier suppliers for most large multinational FMCG companies, as well enjoying the association with local manufacturers the world over.

According to Cameron Traum, general manager, Cama Australia, “Cama understands the importance of direct contact with our clients, and we want to make sure our service standards are the best in the market. The only way to make sure we can do that is by investing in the market and being here in Australia.

“While the local market is very mature and robust, companies are still actively seeking ways to improve efficiency and reliability in manufacturing and they understand the need to invest in technology to remain competitive,” explained Traum.

Cama’s value proposition is their well-known brand and reputation, together with their experience and range of secondary packaging solutions. This value-add is further enhanced by Cama’s new Australian presence, allowing customers to deal with a local office in a local time zone.

According to Traum, “The key is being here and offering the service from the first contact. We make sure that everything we do is best in the market, including our speed of response and service with attention to detail.

“The reaction to our local presence; having our own spare parts and service established within Australia has been overwhelming. We are involved in significant projects in the market so it looks as though we will exceed all our expectations in terms of involvement in the market and returns in the first 12 months.”
