Who we are
Steve Richardson began Emrich in Perth, Australia in 1986 after seven years working in the field of packaging equipment The success of the business soon led to its expansion to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, and today Emrich serves customers in capital cities and remote and regional areas throughout Australia. Many of Emrich’s team members have been with the company for many years, during which they have amassed a high degree of specialised knowledge in the field of packaging equipment. “One of the things that thirty years of experience gives us is the insight and skills to solve a vast range of packaging challenges faced by our customers,” says Steve. “I’m proud to say that our team’s technical capability is second to none, and we’re well known for responding fast to service requests to keep our customers’ machinery in great working order.” Emrich is a family-owned business with several generations of the Richardson family involved in its operations. “We’ve chosen the best manufacturers of packaging equipment worldwide to partner with,” says Steve. “And over the years, we’ve also formed very good relationships with them. This translates into excellent care and attention from them which of course directly benefits our customers.”
Why choose US
At Emrich, we recognise the critical role that packaging plays in meeting your business objectives. That’s why we only deal in proven packaging equipment that satisfies our stringent standards for performance, reliability, quality of output and value for money. It’s also why we invest significantly in our people, supporting them with specialised training and attendance at international trade events. This gives us unrivalled technical knowledge in all aspects of packaging equipment and ensures we keep up-to-date with emerging trends and innovations in packaging technology. “Each day we help our customers by advising on, implementing and maintaining packaging solutions for every type of product you can think of,” says Emrich’s Managing Director Steve Richardson. “One day we can be designing a packaging solution for frozen hamburgers, and the next we could be talking about packaging cosmetics. Packaging for different products will have different considerations, from the environment in which the packaging will occur, to the dimensions of the product, to the scale of production and the throughput required and more. This is where our customers benefit significantly from our thirty years’ experience, because we know the right questions to ask and the factors to consider in making our recommendation for the best choice in packaging equipment.”
