Amcor will produce flexible packaging for food and personal care products at its new facility in Huizhou, China.

Amcor, a global leader in responsible packaging solutions, has opened a 590,000sqft manufacturing plant in Huizhou, China.  The company invested almost US$100 million to open the largest flexible packaging plant by production capacity in China, and this strengthens its ability to meet customer demand throughout Asia Pacific.

The new facility is expected to employ more than 550 people for the production of flexible packaging solutions for food and personal-care products. The plant comes equipped with the first automated packaging production line in China. This, along with high-speed printing presses, laminators, and bag-making machines, can deliver double-digit reductions in manufacturing cycle times.

 

Amcor is also deploying the first smart production and operation system in the Chinese flexible packaging industry, which includes smart laser scanners, light curtains, high-standard machine guarding and multiple quality-control points. All key process equipment is also CE-certified to stringent EU health, safety and environmental requirements. Other benefits of the new state-of-the-art facility are traceability throughout the production cycle, a climate-controlled production environment and low-carbon emission production.

 

"This investment is testament to our commitment to grow with our customers in China and throughout Asia Pacific by bringing the best of Amcor's global expertise closer to them," said Xin She, Vice President and General Manager of Amcor Greater China. "The world-class capabilities of our new plant are designed to enable us to exceed our customers' expectations of quality, responsiveness and innovation."

 

The plant features three labs with innovative testing and analytical capabilities to fully leverage the expertise from the recently opened Amcor Asia Pacific Innovation Center in Jiangyin, China, helping to accelerate the development of responsible packaging solutions. The new Huizhou site also includes a number of sustainability features, including the latest Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTO) system to reduce harmful emissions, as well as a number of energy reduction, heat recovery, low-power consumption, and rainwater harvesting systems to help reduce its carbon footprint and environmental impact.
