RETAIL PACKAGING INDUSTRY NEWS MORE AT MOSCA Mosca Direct Limited has appointed a new Systems Engineer to service its customers in Scotland. The arrival of Stuart Alexander increases the number of UK-based engineers in Mosca’s engineering service team to nine, in line with the company’s continuing success and expansion. The past two years have seen substantial growth for Mosca, with a significant increase in the number of machines sold to customers across Scotland. It was therefore essential for the business to establish a Scotland-based engineer to help it maintain its reputation for fast response times and maintenance deadlines. Ayrshire-based Stuart is qualified and experienced in electrical maintenance, and also has considerable knowledge of working with heavy automated machinery, acquired during four years with Kardex Remstar Ltd, a German manufacturer of automated storage machines. “I’m really looking forward to the challenge and the opportunity to develop my skills at Mosca,” comments Stuart. “It’s great for the company too: having an engineer permanently based in Scotland means routine and emergency call-outs can be responded to much faster, which is good news for customers.” E: info@moscadirect.com http://en-uk.mosca.com Industry News All the essential info on the people making the retail packaging business boom… CLEANING UP INCPEN – the Industry Council for research on Packaging & the Environment – is providing funding for a new dedicated anti-littering website created by environmental charity Hubbub. The new site at http://neatstreets.co features a variety of some of the best case studies of anti-littering campaigns from around the world. Organisations are able to share and promote their own projects by completing an online form. “The ambition is to create a ‘Trip Advisor’ type site where people will be able to build on the learnings that we have collated,” explains Hubbub founder and CEO Trewin Restorick. “Hopefully it will become a place where good ideas can grow and be shared.” “We are delighted to be supporting this important initiative,” comments INCPEN director Jane Bickerstaffe. “Littering is a worldwide problem and one of the best ways of dealing with it is through creating greater awareness of the issue and providing education and advice on how to combat it. “There are many different groups and organisations involved in anti-littering campaigns. We need to learn from each other’s experiences and share our findings in order to achieve the best results, and this website offers the ideal forum.” The launch of the website follows the success of Hubbub’s recent UK Neat Streets project in London, which saw a reduction in litter of 26% over a five month period. Simple but effective measures were used, for example making bins more colourful and visible and a ‘voting butt bin’, which encouraged people to vote with their cigarette butts about topical sporting questions. www.incpen.org INVEST & EXPAND Innovative packaging company SAICA Pack has launched its RENOVE plan, heralding significant investment and upgrades across its European operations.

The survey, of which CEOs or business heads, or those involved in technical/regulatory affairs made up over 50% of respondents, showed the highest satisfaction levels were with technical and regulatory advice, BCF staff service, communication with members and responsiveness to member needs. The top three valued services remain the same as in 2014, which are lobbying, communications to members and technical advice and guidance. Two key areas noted for improvement in BCF’s 2014 survey were better lobbying, and raising the profile of the industry. It was therefore encouraging to see that both of these, along with BCF’s website, were shown as having the highest improvement over 2014. While industry knowledge, leadership and lobbying at both a national and European level were all noted as particular strengths, the latter was also shown to be an area that needs to be developed further, especially with a better influence in Europe. Tom Bowtell, BCF’s CEO commented: “It is of course fantastic to see an improved satisfaction among BCF members. The information provided in all areas of the survey are vital as we focus and prioritise our efforts over the coming years, and it is key that we continue to provide the best regulatory advice, to increase membership, to improve awareness of the BCF, and the contribution that the coatings industry makes to the UK economy, and to work even harder on lobbying both in the UK and Europe. Brexit will have a major impact on BCF’s work in the future, and we are working proactively for the best future business environment for our members.” www.coatings.org.uk www.retailpackagingmag.co.uk 5
