The Australian group, which supplies food production companies across the globe, has revealed that Mr Calopedis will oversee and control the financial planning and activities of the business, focusing on increasing profitability through the efficient use of resources.

'I am looking forward to working with everyone here at tna and making sure that the company continues to grow in the right direction, as it has done in the past,' Mr Calopedis said in a statement. 'Tna has a great product line of vertical form fill and seal machines, and I hope to ensure that tna operates at the most efficient level financially.'
