Toyo Ink To Double Asian Adhesives Production Toyo Ink SC Holdings Co., Ltd., the parent compa- ny of Toyo Ink Group, plans to double the laminat- ing adhesives production capacity from the current level at its Malaysia-based subsidiary Toyochem Specialty Chemical Sdn. Bhd. Expansion work is now under way at the Malaysian site, with full operation slated to begin in the third quarter of 2023. Once in operation, Toyochem Spe- cialty Chemical is expected to serve as the mother factory of laminating adhesives to the Asian region. Increasing Demand At present, the demand for laminating adhesives, which are mainly used to coat multilayered films in flexible packaging structures, is expanding in use for retort food pouches and pharmaceutical pack- aging primarily in Asia, according to Toyo. This includes applications such as PTP (press through package) sheets, a common form of blister packing for drug tablets. Rising populations in countries across Asia are expected to further propel the growth of the retort pouch sector by about 10 percent over the next five years.
TLMI Launches Charitable Initiative
TLMI is kicking off a new charitable giving initia- tive at its upcoming Annual Meeting taking place October 16-18 at the Arizona Grand Resort & Spa. The initiative will involve the donation of funds to community service projects associated with the lo- cations where TLMI meetings are held. Stocking The Food Bank The recipient of this year’s TLMI community ser- vice project is St. Mary’s Food Bank, an organi- zation serving nine Arizona counties across the state. To fund the donation, TLMI has created a Tiered Donation Partnership program that allows the association’s converter and supplier members to help provide valuable resources to underserved communities by sponsoring each meeting loca- tion’s service project. TLMI will be hosting a hands-on community ser- vice project as part of the donation program at this year’s Annual Meeting where association members will have the opportunity to help assemble snack packs including a personal note in each bag after the general session on Monday afternoon.
