Our Team

Nathan’s stewardship of Packserv has seen the business grow from a small family-owned packaging machine rental business to where it stands today as one of Australia’s leading packaging machine manufacturers, providing the FMCG sector with machinery and expert technical support. Nathan expresses great pride and satisfaction in the way Packserv has been able to help hundreds of small businesses (and a few not too small businesses) grow and develop through some pretty difficult times. Packserv’s growth has been maintained through the recent pandemic largely because their manufacturing platform was designed to utilise only Australian materials and technology. ​

Coming from three generations of packaging and manufacturing, Nathan is genuinely passionate about Australian manufacturing and what it contributes to Australia. The recent post-covid intensified focus on local manufacturing and production of FMCG products has provided stark evidence of what Nathan has been vocal about for several years. Nathan and his team take a great deal of pride in the way they make available their years of hands-on technical expertise, not only to Packserv’s customer base, but to the wider packaging community through forums such as the APPMA as well as a swathe of local business chambers.​

Nathan’s encyclopaedic knowledge of machinery, processes, and parts extends not only to Packserv machinery but most types of packaging machinery currently in use here in Australia. Building a business up from the ground and into to a multi-million-dollar business that continues to grow in-step with Australian FMCG manufacturing has been a huge challenge, with some considerable bumps along the way. As per usual, it has been the bumps that have provided the greatest learnings and it’s significant that Nathan now spends most of his time helping other business leaders to avoid them.​

An early adopter of the concept of 4.0 and IIoT technology, Nathan is a keen advocate of collaboration with research bodies to drive and guide development. The APPMA is the perfect environment to allow members to leverage this knowledge and further enhance the industry.
