Australia's
Next Generation
Packaging Group.

Built by industry leaders with over 60 years of combined manufacturing experience, Orion acquires established Australian packaging businesses and brings them the scale, capital and modern capability they need to thrive.

What We Do

A simple model, built on three commitments.

Acquire

Direct, principal-to-principal conversations with owners. No fund managers, no brokers, no theatre. We move quickly, structure deals fairly, and always stick to our word.

Operate

We are operators, not investors who watch from a distance. We turn up, we listen to the team, we sweat the details, and we earn the right to make changes by understanding the business first.

Grow

We invest in what's been missing. Digital marketing, e-commerce, automation, robotics and AI - the modern capabilities that will carry a strong business into its next chapter.

Board Of Directors

Orion is led by a board that combines deep packaging industry experience with proven operational and financial execution.
