Amcor : Rigid Plastics expands extrusion blow molded PP bottle capacity
The multi-million-dollar expansion at production facilities in Batavia, Illinois, Fort Worth, Texas, and Brampton, Ontario, allows Amcor to shift its manufacturing footprint closer to customers with improved logistics and reduced transportation costs.
Ball Plastics Packaging Americas
The expansion is for production of multilayer polypropylene (PP) containers a product line acquired in August 2010 from Ball Plastics Packaging Americas – along with HDPE containers with PCR content for personal care and household uses, creating 30 jobs.
Since the acquisition, weve taken a business rich in know-how and innovative technology to a new level, said Laurel Spencer, VP, marketing, Diversified Products, Amcor Rigid Plastics North America.
Our strategy is to invest in new manufacturing to support growth in leading markets while meeting the needs of our customers in these key regions.
Amcors proprietary Gamma multilayer PP technology fulfils high barrier and high-temperature requirements for applications such as salsa, barbecue sauce, ketchup, syrup, and liquid infant formula.
Multilayer PP barrier packaging
Spencer said the firm is seeing strong growth for multilayer PP barrier packaging for food and handleware food packaging for the club store market segment.
As part of its growth strategy in the food segment, Amcor recently added heat-set PET capacity (stretch blow molding) at its Wytheville, Virginia, facility to serve regional food customers.
