Work to bring the line into service is scheduled to start mid-2026, and the facility is expected to be fully operational later this year<\/p>\n

At full use, the line is expected to add printing capacity of as much as 6,000tpa of packaging.<\/p>\n

According to the company, the equipment is a flexographic printing system built to produce uniform, high-quality output in large volumes while meeting functional needs and packaging design requirements.<\/p>\n

The extra capacity and faster response times add to Amcor\u2019s European network of production, printing and service locations for agricultural and industrial packaging, which includes sites in Ardeer, UK; Steinfeld, Germany; Zele, Belgium; and Zdzieszowice, Poland.<\/p>\n

Amcor sales director Daniel Stauber said: \u201cThe Hardenberg investment is part of our strategy to support customers across key industrial and agricultural markets in Europe. It strengthens our existing network and improves regional service for customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe industrial and agricultural markets represent a strong growth opportunity for our business, and this new capability positions us to support customers more effectively across the region, including evolving requirements around material efficiency, recycle-ready packaging and the use of recycled content where suitable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the company introduced a new range of flip-top closures<\/a> for products, including mayonnaise, ketchup and sweet sauces.<\/p>\n

Amcor said the 55mm Flava flip-top closure 38\/400 is lighter than previous versions.<\/p>\n
