Supporting Australian Manufacturing: How Packserv Is Assisting Former Asset Packaging Machine Customers
With the recent liquidation of Asset Packaging Machines, many Australian businesses have been left searching for service, spare parts, and local support for their production lines. It’s a difficult moment for our industry, but it’s also a reminder of how important it is to keep Australian manufacturing strong.
At Packserv, we’ve been working hard to fill the gap and ensure that no business is left stranded. Our team has been assisting former Asset customers with refurbished machines, rental options, spare parts, and ongoing technical support to keep their production running smoothly.
Keeping Local Manufacturing Alive
The closure of a long-standing Australian manufacturer is never good news. It’s a loss not only for the people directly affected but for the entire manufacturing ecosystem – from suppliers to local technicians and end users who rely on Australian-made quality.
That’s why Packserv remains deeply committed to building, servicing, and supporting equipment that’s made right here in Australia. Our machines are designed, engineered, and assembled locally, using locally manufactured parts wherever possible. We believe this approach is critical to the future of our industry creating jobs, retaining skills, and ensuring our customers always have access to the parts, service, and support they need.
Supporting Asset Machines and Customers
Since Asset’s exit from the market, our team has been busy refurbishing existing Asset machines, sourcing compatible components, and keeping production lines running across Australia and New Zealand. Many businesses have also turned to our rental fleet to bridge production gaps or to upgrade to Packserv’s latest pneumatic or automatic filling, capping, and labelling systems.
Because we manufacture locally, we’re able to provide quick turnaround on repairs and replacements – something that’s becoming increasingly rare as more companies move offshore. Our service technicians understand both Packserv and Asset machines inside and out, so customers can count on us for practical solutions that extend the life of their equipment and minimise downtime.
A Moment to Reinforce Australian Made
Asset’s liquidation underscores the importance of choosing Australian-made equipment. When you invest in locally manufactured machinery, you’re not just buying a product – you’re supporting a network of Australian businesses, tradespeople, and engineers who are keeping our manufacturing capability alive.
Packserv’s “buy-for-life” philosophy is built on this principle. Our machines are built to last, backed by local service, spare parts, and the option to trade in older models as technology evolves. We’re proud to be a part of the Australian Made Campaign and APPMA, advocating for a strong, sustainable, and innovative future for our sector.
Moving Forward Together
Transitions like this are never easy, but they’re also moments that define the resilience of Australian manufacturing. Packserv remains ready to support all businesses affected by Asset Packaging Machine’s closure, whether through service, refurbishment, rentals, or new equipment tailored to your production needs.
If your production line includes Asset Packaging Machinery equipment or if you’re seeking Australian-made alternatives, our team is here to help. We understand the urgency of keeping your line running, and we’re committed to ensuring you have reliable, ongoing support right here at home.
The message is clear: Australia still makes great machinery. And as long as we continue to design, build, and support equipment locally, we’ll keep our manufacturing industry strong for generations to come.
