Why New Zealand’s Leading Brands Trust RML for Packaging Automation

When some of the brands New Zealanders trust the most choose RML Machinery for their end‑of‑line packaging automation, it’s not luck, it’s proven performance. If Tip Top, Arnott’s, Sanitarium and other household names rely on our machinery to increase throughput, improve workplace safety and reduce costs, it’s worth asking, why shouldn’t your production line do the same?

Why trust matters and why it should matter to you

Trusted Brands New Zealand (Reader’s Digest) is a people’s award. Thousands of Kiwis vote, independently surveyed, with winners decided by real consumer sentiment. The brands on that list earn loyalty because they’re reliable, consistent and deliver on their promises. Our work with many of those brands shows our equipment meets the standards required by organisations where brand reputation and product consistency really matter.

Real results for real brands

Here are a few examples of how RML helped some of New Zealand’s most trusted names:

  • Tip Top — Robotic carton loading and case packing line: packing 300 ice creams per minute, delivering massive throughput gains with consistent quality. 
  • Arnott’s — Horizontal load cartoner: improved speed and reliability for high-volume biscuit lines. 
  • Prolife (Mother Earth) — Horizontal load cartoner: customised automation for unique packaging formats. 
  • Sanitarium — Cereal line automation, including case erector & closer: streamlined end‑of‑line operations with robust, low‑downtime solutions. 
  • The Griffin’s Food Company — 2 flap sealer, horizontal load cartoner, RSC glue closer: multiple customised modules integrated to meet complex packing needs. 
  • Manuka Health — Jar filling line: hygienic, accurate filling and packing to protect product quality and brand trust.

What those projects delivered
  • Increased production capacity and throughput 
  • More consistent, repeatable packaging quality 
  • Reduced labour burdens and improved workplace safety 
  • Improved product quality and reduced operating costs 
  • Faster changeovers and better flexibility for SKU variation

Why that matters to your bottom line

Efficiency gains and cost reductions free up budget and capacity for growth. Safer, more reliable equipment reduces downtime and the risk to your people, and consistent packaging quality helps protect brand reputation. All of these factors support higher revenue potential without compromising compliance or customer trust.
