Amcor Expands Packaging Manufacturing Capacity in China

Amcor, a global leader in responsible packaging solutions, has commenced an expansion project at its flexible packaging manufacturing facility in Dongguan, China.

The expansion project includes the construction of a 7,000-square-metre manufacturing facility and an automated warehouse, increasing Amcor's Dongguan campus to more than 38,000 square metres. The investment will enhance production capacity and strengthen supply chain resilience in South China, and construction will complete by July 2027.

Designed with a focus on sustainability and intelligent manufacturing, the expanded facility will incorporate automated solvent-free laminators, high-speed bag-making machines, and automated bag-arranging systems. These advanced technologies are expected to enhance production capacity, improve operational efficiency, and support the manufacture of recycle-ready packaging solutions for food, home, and personal care applications.

Amcor has maintained operations in China for more than 30 years and currently operates 23 manufacturing facilities and two research and development centres across the country. The expansion of its Dongguan facility will further strengthen the company's manufacturing network and enhance its ability to serve customers across the Asia-Pacific region.

"China is an important growth market for Amcor, and the Dongguan expansion represents an investment in the technologies and capabilities that will help shape the future of packaging," said Xin She, Vice President and General Manager of Amcor Flexibles China. "We are creating a more efficient and intelligent manufacturing ecosystem that will help our customers grow and meet the needs of millions of consumers every day."
