The company stated that Moore has extensive leadership experience in both rigid and flexible plastic packaging manufacturing. Since 1985 he was employed by Nampak Limited in various senior capacities. In his early years at Nampak he was involved in the Liquid Packaging and Tufbag operations before transferring to the United Kingdom to manage BlowMocan - Nampak's original UK acquisition in 1995.
Between 1995 and 2002‚ and more particularly following Nampak's acquisition of Plysu PLC‚ Moore managed the Liquid Plastics Division and established it as the leading producer of Plastic Milk Bottles in the UK.
This culminated in him being appointed as Managing Director of Nampak Plastics Europe Limited until he elected to return to South Africa in 2004. Since then‚ he has been the Managing Director of the Nampak Flexible Cluster‚ where he has been heavily involved in restructuring its various operations.
Paul Botha‚ a director of the Company and representative of one of the major shareholders in Astrapak‚ stated that‚ "Robin's extensive packaging experience‚ both local and international‚ will be of great value to Astrapak and his knowledge within specifically the Flexible industry will be invaluable in rectifying the underperformance in recent years from the Astrapak Flexible Division."
