Amcor is expanding its flexible packaging solutions facility in Dongguan, China, with a new 7000-square-metre manufacturing facility and automated warehouse.

The expansion will increase the site’s production capacity and expand Amcor’s existing Dongguan campus to more than 38,000 square metres. Construction is expected to be completed by July 2027.

The project will include automated solvent-free laminators, high-speed bag-making machines and automated bag arranging systems to support production of recycle-ready packaging solutions for food, home and personal care applications.

"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."

Amcor said the expansion will strengthen its manufacturing network across the Asia Pacific region. The company has operated in China for more than 30 years and currently has 23 manufacturing sites and two research and development centres across the country.
