Amcor opens new home core packaging site in India

摘要

GROWING demand for Unilever's laundry products in India has created a need for quality packaging,which Amcor will satisfy with a new manufacturing plant dedicated to the needs of the global consumer-goods giant. Amcor's efficient new factory in Bharuch,Gujarat,in the Western region of India started operations recently after an official ceremonial event in October with executives from both companies. As part of a seven-year agreement with Unilever signed in 2017,Amcor,the global packaging leader,made a substantial investment to build and equip the state-of-the-art Bharuch plant. The new plant is producing packaging for Unilever that will meet the rapidly evolving expectations of the company and the consumers who buy its products. The 8,000-square-metre plant has three lines that will run 24 hours a day,producing flexible packaging using advanced flexographic technology. From initial employment of 50 people,Amcor anticipates the team in Bharuch to grow to 180 by December 2019.
