Serving Customers The Dongguan project will add to its manufacturing network serving customers across the Asia Pacific region. In May, Amcor’s Asia Pacific Innovation & Center (APIC) laboratory secured accreditation from the China National Accreditation Service (CNAS) for Conformity Assessment, adding to its role in the group’s wider innovation network. The CNAS is the country’s official body for reviewing testing and calibration laboratories against international benchmarks. Its approval shows that a laboratory meets internationally accepted standards for technical capability and quality management. Packaging giant Amcor has started expansion work at its flexible packaging solutions plant in Dongguan, China. The plan covers a new 7,000-square-meter production build- ing and an automated warehouse. Once added, Amcor’s Dongguan campus will exceed 38,000 square meters. The additional space is intended to increase output and resilience to supply arrangements in South China’s industrial base. The build is scheduled to finish by July 2027. Equipment Installation Equipment to be installed includes automated sol- vent-free laminators, high-speed bag-making lines and automated bag-arranging systems. Amcor said the upgrades are designed to support work on recycle-ready packaging for food, home and personal care uses.
