TRENDPAC LABORATORIES PTY LTD (ABN 31 001 627 103) is looking for a Toolmaker for our manufacturing business in Berkeley Vale, NSW.

TrendPac was established by Jim Hyde and Ken Twigg in 1963 (trading then as Hu-Chem Pty Ltd). The company’s initial focus was on Hair Care products, and during the 1970s our operations expanded into the Household Cleaning sector. In 1982 Ken Twigg passed away, and the Hyde Family bought out the Twigg Family’s share of the company. In 1992 we established our own plastic moulding facility to enable us to supply packaging directly into our filling facility.
