Its principle objective is to promote sales of machinery, both at home and abroad, through various projects and services of mutual benefit to both members and their customers by providing free technical and machinery information and advice.

The choice of packaging machinery for primary & secondary packaging can depend on various situations. These can include available budget, payback period, integration, associated running costs, machine technology and available floor space.
