History

For over 26 years, National Packaging Machinery has been a trusted name in New Zealand’s packaging industry. Founded by John Campbell, the company built its reputation on quality, reliability, and innovative packaging solutions. From strapping and taping machines to full packing line automation, National Packaging has served manufacturers, retailers, and independent businesses nationwide.

In March 2025, a new chapter began as PGL Group acquired National Packaging. This transition marks an exciting evolution—one that blends National Packaging’s legacy of excellence with PGL’s extensive resources and expertise. Having operated from PGL’s Henderson facility for six years, the two companies share a long-standing partnership built on mutual trust and shared values.

Under PGL’s leadership, National Packaging continues its commitment to delivering high-quality packaging solutions while expanding its offerings. With a strengthened foundation, we look forward to serving our customers with the same dedication to innovation, efficiency, and service that has defined our history.
