Quadpack Down Under: steady growth for Australian office

We are happy to report exponential growth at Quadpack Australia. Based in South Yarra, Victoria, the Australian operation was established over three years ago by Business Unit Director Jason Smith.

“The Australian office is doing fantastically well,” says Quadpack CEO Tim Eaves. “Jason spent a lot of time and effort in creating a solid reputation and building the brand. Now, with Jason Smith at the helm, Jason Hodson heading up sales and Mandy Sadler in client services, there is a talented team in place ready to exploit that reputation commercially. I think it’s fair to say that Quadpack will soon become the leading distributor to the health and beauty market in Australia.”

By offering much-needed technical expertise in a fledgling packaging industry and tapping into a growing demand for airless products, Quadpack has grown six-fold since its inception in 2007, with growth of over 60% predicted by this year-end.

Jason Smith explains: “We now attract business from all the leading Australian anti-ageing, skincare and suncare brands. Previously, they had to turn to generic packaging companies or Asian sources and often ran into quality or technical issues. That’s why they appreciate the service and expertise they receive here at Quadpack, as well as the range and quality of products we offer.”

He says the growth of the Australia operation is also a reflection of the maturing skincare market in Australia. “Local brands are more and more professional, practically on a level with international, world-class brands. Professional packaging is essential and, for this, they increasingly come and consult Quadpack.”
