Visy is a global leader in sustainable packaging, recycling, and logistics. Founded in 1948 in Shepparton, Victoria, the company began with a simple yet groundbreaking idea—replacing heavy wooden apple crates with sturdy, lightweight cardboard boxes.

Innovation and sustainability have driven Visy ever since. From 100% recycled cardboard to Australia’s first milk bottle with 50% recycled plastic and glass bottles with 90% recycled content, the company continues to develop eco-friendly solutions for iconic brands. With a $2 billion investment in recycling and remanufacturing, Visy is reducing landfill, increasing recycling, and creating thousands of green-collar jobs. Across 150 sites, its 7,000 employees are driving the circular economy, guided by the company’s core values and commitment to a better world.

About the project

Visy has several Crabtree machines, including a four-colour Fastready printing press and, most recently, a custom-built ATEX-rated FastreadyPro coating line.

Feedback from our client

I have been working with Crabtree Printers and Coaters for over 23 years now and have found them to be an extremely reliable, robust, and accurate piece of equipment for the printing and industry. What sets Crabtree apart is its faultless and reliable engineering and technical after-sales support. Issues we can’t resolve ourselves have been quickly corrected with Crabtree support over the phone or with remote dial-in. Spares are also promptly acquired and dispatched and arrive on time. I can’t thank Crabtree enough for the support they give myself and my team.

From purchasing to installation to commissioning and after sales support, Crabtree will be right next to you with complete accountability. There is no other OEM I have worked with that I have this much confidence in. Crabtree will deliver on their commitment, their people are highly skilled and their designs are simple and proven. When isolated in Australia you need proven designs and responsive sales and service, Crabtree do an exceptional job of this which helps me sleep well at night.

About the project

At Crabtree, we take pride in delivering high-performance printing solutions tailored to the evolving needs of the packaging industry. We partnered with Nikita Containers, a leading name in tin packaging, to enhance their printing capabilities with our CRABTREE FAST READY 4th Generation single-colour printing machine.
With the growing demand for decorative tin containers in India, particularly for sweets, tea, and spice packaging, Nikita required a high-speed, efficient printing solution. Our latest machine, designed for rapid operation with reduced changeover times, was the perfect fit to support their expansion and increased production capacity.

Our commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology aligns with Nikita’s vision of setting industry benchmarks.
