QLM acquires Roastar coffee packaging assets

QLM Group has acquired the assets and client list of Roastar, a specialist in coffee packaging, securing an exclusive distribution agreement for Prime Vent degassing valve technology across Australia and Southeast Asia as part of the deal.

Prime Vent is a degassing valve system designed to extend coffee product shelf life of coffee products while reducing plastic use by 95 percent compared with traditional valves. The exclusive regional rights give QLM a proprietary technology position in the coffee packaging segment.

Roastar's specialized equipment will be relocated to QLM's Brisbane facility, combining with the group's existing manufacturing, digital printing and supply chain capabilities. The acquisition follows an 8m AUD investment in new Australian production capacity and is positioned as part of QLM's broader expansion in the flexible packaging sector.
