Newton conducted a course on the Fundamental of Sustainable Packaging on Load Securing – Level 1. The course aims to help customers with pallet safety in the warehouse and during transportation. Also included is how to reduce packaging costs.

One of our first online training programmes during the Covid-19 lockdowns was for our Austria customer. The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the way organisations and individuals pursue learning. In the months during the virus outbreak, many norms were driven to significant changes, one of which was the way we conducted training for our customers.

Newton is on the mission to expand and grow through knowledge exchange with industry experts. We participated in the Pack Expo held in Chicago on the 14th of October, 2018. This trade fair had 2,000 exhibitors and 30,000 attendees. Some exhibitors include machines and equipment providers for packaging, materials, and containers. Many latest automation technologies from various industries were exhibited and shared during the event. Newton had the privilege to engage, share and learn from many industry experts from the American continent.

Newton welcomed the HD Oasis team for a courtesy visit to our office and laboratory in our efforts to uphold the culture of “Putting People First”. Both parties shared and exchanged ideas on work-life balance and how to achieve success with tranquillity.

Newton provided training on packaging safety and load stability to our counterparts in China. The objective is to help them meet the advent demand for packaging safety due to the fast development of China’s logistic and supply chain industry.

In Pursuit of Knowledge & Inspiration at ISTA’s Asia Pacific Packaging Symposium

Newton participated in the ISTA Asia Pacific Packaging Symposium 2017 in Bangkok, Thailand. Organised by the ISTA Asia Pacific Division Board and hosted by Kasetsart University Department of Packaging and Materials Technology, the symposium was held from November 1st to 3rd and attended by packaging industry players, including brand owners.

Some of the topics covered during the symposium were

• SPECIAL PROGRAM: Learn from ISTA Experts on how to Design, Develop and Test Transport Packaging and Cushioning
• Reducing Packaging Costs, Damage and Environmental Footprint
• e-Commerce packaging
• Test your packaged-products systems for safe delivery
• Measure and analyse distribution environments
• Manage supply chain and cold chain packaging
• Case studies and research updates

The trip was a fruitful journey for Newton in learning and knowledge building. We learned about design, development and testing, transport packaging and cushioning from many packaging industry experts who attended the event. The sharing and knowledge gained have provided us with valuable insights to improve our testing capabilities to serve our customers better.

On the second day of the official opening, the Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry, Y.B. Datuk Chua Tee Yong and his team visited Newton R&D Centre. We are honoured and with much enthusiasm to share our goals of providing packaging solutions to all segments of industries.
