Foodtech Packtech 2025 Recap: A Look Inside Ulti Group’s Stand at NZ’s Premier Industry Expo

The Foodtech Packtech 2025 show was nothing short of incredible – and Ulti Group was right in the heart of the action. As one of New Zealand’s largest and most influential food and packaging technology trade events, this year’s show brought together industry leaders, innovators, and solution seekers under one roof. For us, it was a powerful opportunity to connect with customers, showcase our cutting-edge industrial door solutions, and demonstrate how we’re helping to future-proof facilities across the country.

From the steady stream of engaging conversations to the buzz around our working doors, the energy at our stand was palpable. Whether you made it to the show or are catching up now, our recap video captures the best moments – watch the faces, feel the energy, and see what made our presence at Foodtech Packtech 2025 so impactful.

 

Innovation Meets Interaction at FoodTech Packtech

At Ulti Group, we’re passionate about creating safer, smarter, and more efficient facilities – and events like Foodtech Packtech to bring that passion to life. Held at Auckland’s ASB Showgrounds, this year’s expo featured hundreds of suppliers across food processing, packaging, engineering, and technology sectors. As an exhibitor, we were excited not just to show off our solutions, but to engage face-to-face with the people who use them every day.

Our stand was designed to be an immersive experience. At the centre of it all were our live working door demos – letting attendees see, hear, and even feel how our solutions perform in real-world environments. From high-speed roll doors to automated insulated options, the reaction was consistent: “Wow.”

But the real highlight? Conversations. We had meaningful interactions with a wide range of attendees – from facility managers and health & safety officers to packaging engineers and operations teams. Their insights were invaluable, and their curiousity showed us one thing loud and clear: businesses are actively seeking smarter ways to improve efficiency, hygiene, and compliance. We’re proud to be a part of that conversation.

 

Showcasing Smarter Solutions for Smarter Facilities

Food and packaging industries operate under strict demands: rapid throughput, airtight hygiene, temperature control, and maximum uptime. Our role at the show was to demonstrate how Ulti Group’s industrial door solutions are engineered to meet these needs.

Throughout the event, we highlighted key product lines including:

• High-Speed Doors – Ideal for areas with high traffic and strict hygiene controls. Fast operation and minimal maintenance made these a favourite among visitors.
• Insulated Sectional Doors – Showcasing superior thermal performance for chilled and frozen environments.
• Automated Access Solutions – Streamlining facility flow and reducing manual handling risks.
• Safety and Compliance Features – Reinforcing our commitment to workplace safety and food-grade compliance.

Our interactive stand allowed attendees to explore these features in real time – watching sensors respond, doors open and close at speed, and integrated safety systems in action. For many, it was their first time seeing these technologies operate up close – and the response was overwhelmingly positive.

 

Connecting with the Industry, Driving Innovation

One of the most valuable aspects of Foodtech Packtech is the opportunity to connect – not just with customers, but with other innovators across the supply chain. It’s a space where challenges are openly discussed, and solutions are explored collaboratively.

We spoke with countless professionals dealing with everything from cold storage bottlenecks to outdated door systems that compromise hygiene standards. What we found was that many facilities are ready to upgrade – not just for compliance, but to gain operational efficiency and long-term cost savings.

By attending this year’s show, Ulti Group reinforced its role as more than a product provider – we’re a partner in problem-solving. It’s through these in-person conversations that we’re able to truly understand the evolving needs of our customers and tailor our solutions accordingly.

 

If You Missed the Show, Don’t Miss the Experience

We know not everyone could make it to the expo – and that’s why we created our Foodtech Packtech recap video. While it can’t replace the feeling of standing beside a working door or shaking hands with our team, it gives you a front-row seat to what made this year’s show so special.

You’ll see:

• The live demonstrations that caught everyone’s eye
• Engaged attendees interacting with our products
• The energy and enthusiasm at the heart of our stand

It’s a visual story that reflects our ongoing mission: delivering industrial door solutions that improve the safety, efficiency, and performance of New Zealand’s food and packaging facilities.
