DIC Corporation has established a new production facility in Jakarta, Indonesia, for coatings suitable for direct food contact materials.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The facility is situated on the site of the company\u2019s wholly owned subsidiary PT. DIC Graphics and is designed to meet the rising demand for sustainable packaging.<\/p>\n
The product lineup at the new facility includes high-performance coatings for paper such as HYDRECT, SunStar DFC OPV\/Coating, among others.<\/p>\n
These products will enable the production of paperboard lunch boxes, pizza boxes, and paper cups with water and oil resistance, as well as sealing properties, without hindering recyclability.<\/p>\n
This facility aligns with the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point food safety management system.<\/p>\n
The facility aims to produce 1,000 tonnes (t) of coatings annually by fiscal year 2030 (FY30) for markets in Asian countries, including China and Oceania.<\/p>\n
The facility is well-positioned to serve as an export base for the region, with potential future expansions considered by DIC.<\/p>\n
The facility has features such as air showers, dusters with high-efficiency particulate air filters, and antibacterial flooring, to ensure safety and quality for direct food contact materials.<\/p>\n
The plant has also received certification for compliance with Indonesia\u2019s halal regulations and adheres to the World Health Organization\u2019s (WHO) good manufacturing practices (GMPs).<\/p>\n
DIC\u2019s high-performance coatings allow for the creation of recyclable monomaterial packaging by being applicable to various substrates, thus facilitating the development of easily recyclable packaging solutions.<\/p>\n
The new facility represents the DIC Group\u2019s first foray in Asia, outside of Japan, into producing coatings for the market.<\/p>\n
This move is in line with the DIC Vision 2030 long-term management plan, which includes advancing efforts to respond to a circular economy as one of its key sustainability strategies.<\/p>\n
The group is also expanding its sustainable packaging materials lineup to cater to next-generation market needs.<\/p>\n
The investment in this new facility enables the group to offer high-performance products, previously developed in the US, Europe, and Japan, to local markets in Asia and Oceania.<\/p>\n
