Meet Our People: Sales and Development Specialist Tünde Lovestyán
Tünde has just returned from the AUSPACK packaging conference in Melbourne, where sustainability in packaging was a key topic
Tünde Lovestyán, Punchbowl Packaging's Sales and Business Development Manager, moved 18,000km across the world to live in New Zealand. Tünde and her partner András left Hungary almost four years ago for an adventure in a country they had seen only in films, such as Lord of the Rings.
With eight years’ experience in packaging, including roles in sales, product development and project management, Tünde was snapped up by Punchbowl Packaging and has quickly established herself as a key player in the team.
Tunde headed to Melbourne last week to attend AUSPACK. Since 2015, this annual event has been a focal point for innovation of the food, beverage and pharmaceutical processing and packaging industry.
Many global trends were discussed, including sustainable solutions, the explosion of E-Commerce and rise of robotics, and smart packaging.
“It was a great event; definitely worth visiting when you’re in the packaging game,” Tunde says.
“I made a lot of new contacts, reconnected with existing networks, discovered some exciting products, caught up on industry news, and dug deeper in to consumer expectations and industry innovations in terms of waste targets.”
Tünde and András love the outdoors and spend many weekends hiking, kayaking and taking part in fundraising walks for charity. Tünde racked up some great training in Melbourne, averaging 25,000 steps each day of the conference and busting out 44,000 steps – or roughly 20km – on her day off.
“I love travelling and exploring. We were so excited to move to New Zealand – the other side of the world – and we love getting out amongst this country’s magnificent scenery.”
