Conference Trade Expo Preview 2026
The Bega Foodservice Health & Aged Care portfolio is proud to have a large range of highly nutritious foods and drinks vital in helping to deliver more nutrition in hospitals, aged care and healthcare settings.
Bega Foodservice understands nutrition is critical in health and aged care settings to support health and recovery, with research showing that getting more calcium and protein into aged care residents’ diets may significantly reduce risk of falls and fractures. All of Bega Dairy & Drink’s milks naturally provide eight essential nutrients, including calcium and high quality dairy protein.
The Bega Foodservice portfolio of iconic Australian-owned and Australian-made brands delivers great nutrition through real foods and drinks, familiar and loved by people of all ages.

Healthcare identification from the kitchen to the laundry
Health and aged care teams need identification systems that are clear, practical and easy to use across busy food and laundry operations. At this year’s Hospitality in Healthcare Conference Trade Expo, Maxi-Press Australia will present an integrated healthcare identification offering – from the kitchen to the laundry.
The Kitchen & Food Safety zone will feature Dissolvo Labels, including day and date rotation labels, Used By and Opened On/Used By options, allergen and IDDSI identification, freezer labels and customised solutions. Visitors will also be able to see the Print-Your-Own Dissolvo system in action, demonstrating how facilities can print information on demand for their own foodsafety processes. Dissolvo Labels dissolve during the normal washing process, helping eliminate scraping and sticky adhesive residue from reusable containers.
The Laundry & Identification zone will showcase Thermopatch solutions for workwear, flatwork and personal clothing. The display will include textile labels, barcodes, emblems and the compact HS-21-SQR heat-seal press. Visitors can see how a professional heat-seal system can support clear garment identification and efficient textile handling in healthcare and commercial laundry environments.
Together, these solutions demonstrate the broader capability of Maxi-Press as a healthcare partner: practical identification for food, garments and textiles, supported through one coordinated supply relationship.
Meet the Maxi-Press team at the expo to see both demonstrations and discuss the right approach for your facility.
One partner. One supply chain. Better outcomes.
