Amcor Opens Advanced Healthcare Packaging Facility in Malaysia

ZURICH – Amcor (NYSE: AMCR, ASX: AMC) has completed construction of its advanced coating facility for healthcare packaging in Selangor, Malaysia.

The facility, the first in Asia to leverage air knife coating technology, will enhance the supply of high-quality, sterile packaging for healthcare customers in the region.

The new facility expands Amcor’s existing healthcare packaging plant in Selangor, creating what is the first campus in Asia to produce both top and bottom substrates for medical device packaging.

This will help reduce supply chain disruptions for customers.

The facility is equipped with advanced technologies, including water-based coating systems, online inspection systems, and air knife technology.

“Amcor’s investment in this new facility reflects our unwavering commitment to support our customers across the Asia Pacific region,” said Chris Kenneally, president of Amcor Flexibles Asia Pacific.

This new facility is part of Amcor’s broader commitment to expanding its healthcare capabilities in the Asia Pacific region. Recent initiatives include the acquisition of healthcare packaging company MDK in China, the establishment of a grid lacquer paper unit in India, and the construction of a co-extrusion blown film and printing plant in Singapore.
