The Dase-Sing Group manufactures automatic rotogravure printing labels, automatic sleever machines and shrink labels and films. Established in 1985, it has become one of Taiwan's more advanced and fast-developing packaging companies with major customers across the Asian region.  “When Dase-Sing manufactured the first machine in 1995, our goal was to become a manufacturer that provides customers with one-stop processing and packaging solutions,” shared Tony Huang, executive assistant at Dase-Sing. He said that in conceptualising designs, the company makes the most of available science and technology, and as a result has produced several notable machines and complete solutions for F&B and personal care manufacturing. These sectors are very dynamic, with such trends as sustainability, recyclability, consumer safety, among others, impacting the packaging sector. At the same time developments in automation are also changing the way companies manage their production.   READ: Dase-Sin

When you go over the issues of FoodPacific Manufacturing Journal, you’d be amazed at the countless innovations being presented to food and beverage manufacturers, and how these are contributing to hundreds of new and exciting products every day.   Read the July 2021 issue of FoodPacific Manufacturing Journal   In food and beverage, two trends are coming right at us with full force.  One is the focus on health and nutrition, which should significantly impact the way packaged foods and drinks are developed or reformulated.

Women have always been under-represented in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) workforce, and a 2019 report by UNESCO illustrated the true extent of this. It showed that in no part of the world, except for a few countries, do women outnumber men in the Research & Development workforce. Globally, less than 30% of those working in research fields were women.  There can be no doubt that women are starting to represent a higher proportion of the science and engineering workforce. However, any increases follow on from very low starting points. According to the US Census, for example, women working in engineering occupations increased from 3% in 1970, to 15% in 2019 [1] . That same year , there were more than 6.3 million female scientists and engineers working in the EU, accounting for 41% of total employment in science and engineering [2] .   In Asia specifically, there were found to be key differences across the continent. A handful of countries buck the glo

As the trend for plant-based alternatives grows across the globe, FrieslandCampina introduces a vegan innovation.  The ingredient called Kievit® Vana-Monte V98 allows bakers to use it for Crème Chantilly (whipped cream), making it attractive to vegan as well as non-vegans (flexitarians). Desserts manufacturers can make chocolate or fruit mousse, and ice cream based upon Kievit® Vana-Monte V98. "We are seeing the global trend for more plant-based alternatives transfer more and more to the bakery, desserts and ice cream industries and we are delighted to support our partners and consumers all over the world with giving them a vegan alternative for the perfect Crème Chantilly and sweet or acidic mousses,” says Suzanne van den Eshof , Global Head of Marketing Food Industry at FrieslandCampina.“We consider it our mission to bring our valued partners and consumers every opportunity to make their own creations exactly to their and the market’s liking, and we’re proud of this new chapter
