What Multisteps Industries does

Multisteps Industries Pty Ltd is an Australian privately held manufacturer and wholesale distributor of food packaging products, founded in 2000 and operating from Silverwater, NSW with a primary manufacturing facility in Narangba, Queensland. The company designs and produces PET and rPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate) packaging — including punnets, clamshells, MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) trays, VSP (Vacuum Skin Packaging) trays, Purge-Lock open-cell trays, and CPET/PP ready meal trays — serving four vertical segments: fresh produce (berries, fruits, vegetables), meat and seafood (beef, poultry, lamb, seafood, smallgoods), bakery, and ready meal manufacturers.

The technical backbone is an in-house tooling factory that produces custom moulds, electronic drawings, prototypes, and tooling inserts, with retained IP on proprietary sealing mechanisms and a registered trademark on the Purge-Lock open-cell tray design. Production is 24/7, fully in-house (not outsourced), and supported by what the company describes as world-class equipment and automation, yielding more than 400 distinct packaging solutions. Products are certified for food-contact compliance (AS2070-1999, EU 10/2011, FDA 21 CFR 175.300) and designed for compatibility with leading tray-sealing equipment such as Multivac lines. Sustainability differentiation is centred on the ability to deliver packaging with up to 100% recycled (rPET) content that is kerbside recyclable, validated by Global Recycled Standard v4.0 and APCO membership.

The business model is a B2B sales-led motion combining direct enterprise sales (phone 1300 228 077 and website quote forms) with a regional Australian distributor network — Norco Rural in NSW, YV Packaging in Victoria, and E.E Muirs & Sons nationally — and credit applications available for New Zealand customers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated through unit sales of packaging products, custom tooling and prototyping services, complementary soaker pads (produce and meat), and self-adhesive or direct-to-packaging labels. Anchor enterprise customers include Driscolls, Costa, Perfection Fresh, Harvest Moon, SunPork, Mt Barker Chicken, and Drakes. Certifications relevant to institutional and international retailer procurement include ISO 9001:2015, ISO 22000:2018, BRCGS Packaging Materials (Issue 6), HACCP, SMETA, and Australian Made.

Broad incumbents

• Pactiv Evergreen: Global foodservice and food-merchandise packaging producer with a strong focus on rigid CPET, PP, and PET trays. Directly comparable product portfolio to Multisteps' ready-meal and fresh-food tray range, but at much larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• Winpak: North American rigid and flexible packaging manufacturer serving food, beverage, and healthcare. Comparable because it produces rigid trays, MAP packaging, and specialty food containers similar to Multisteps' portfolio, but it operates primarily in the US/Canada rather than ANZ.
• Pact Group Holdings: ASX-listed ANZ plastic packaging manufacturer with a much larger footprint serving food, beverage, and industrial customers. Directly comparable because it produces rigid plastic food containers, punnets, and trays for the same fresh-food verticals, but at vastly greater scale and breadth.
• Coveris: European-headquartered flexible and rigid plastic packaging manufacturer serving food customers globally. Comparable because it supplies trays and punnets for fresh and protein applications similar to Multisteps, but with broader geographic reach and a wider substrate portfolio.
• Amcor: Global packaging giant headquartered in Switzerland with significant ANZ operations. Comparable as a broad incumbent in rigid plastic food containers and flexible packaging, but at vastly larger scale and a wider product portfolio than Multisteps' PET-focused niche.
• Klöckner Pentaplast: Global rigid and flexible plastic packaging producer serving food and pharmaceutical markets. Comparable through its rigid tray and container portfolio for food-contact applications, but operating at significantly greater scale and across multiple substrates.
• Sealed Air Corporation: Global food packaging giant best known for Cryovac MAP and vacuum-skin packaging. Closely comparable because Sealed Air's protein and fresh-produce MAP/VSP systems target the same shelf-life and leak-prevention outcomes as Multisteps' MAP, VSP, and Purge-Lock trays — just at global scale.

Direct peers

• StePac (Johnson Matthey): Specialty manufacturer of modified atmosphere packaging and functional films for fresh produce and protein. A direct niche competitor to Multisteps because both target the same fresh-produce and protein shelf-life extension outcomes through MAP technology.
• Detmold Group: Family-owned ANZ packaging manufacturer producing food service packaging, paper bags, and rigid containers. Comparable because it serves similar food-service and bakery/protein customers in Australia with custom packaging manufacturing, though with a broader substrate mix including paper.

Regional players

• Visy: Australian-headquartered packaging and recycling giant with strong ANZ presence across rigid plastics, paper, and recycling. Comparable as a regional player serving the same food customers in ANZ with packaging solutions, though Visy's portfolio spans substrates well beyond Multisteps' PET focus.
