Wednesday Networking with Mr Glen Buckingham

Wednesday Networking is a platform for members and non-members to meet other like-minded people, providing the chance to create relationships.

OVERVIEW OF THE PRINTING INDUSTRY

Since 2009, Glen has operated as a consultant broker and supplier of packaging to many of Australia’s largest seafood companies and premium wineries. He imports the bulk of his orders from Indonesia and China, but also coordinates with local manufacturers for speciality cartons and packaging.

Glen has vast experience in the printing and packaging industry. He started as a printing apprentice at the WA Government Printing Office in 1977, and remained in the public services with this office until 1998. He then joined JayPack Packaging, a small packaging company as their Estimator, Designer, Production Manager and Head of Internal Sales. In 2003, Glen joined Visy Industries to manage their Kewdale Speciality Plant, and then later supervised the construction of a new factory at Canning Vale.

Glen will give an overview of the development in the printing industry – from the manual presses he operated as an apprentice, to the digital machineries of today.
