Amcor opens advanced healthcare packaging coating facility in Malaysia

Amcor, a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, opened an advanced healthcare packaging coating facility in Subang Jaya, Selangor, marking a significant expansion of its manufacturing footprint in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. 

The facility, representing an investment of over $35 million USD, introduces air-knife coating technology to the region for the production of coated medical paper used in sterile medical device packaging. Facilitated by Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), this investment further strengthens Malaysia's position as an integrated regional hub for healthcare packaging, enhancing supply chain resilience through local access.

"Amcor's investment reinforces Malaysia's position as a strategic center for advanced manufacturing in the region," said Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, Chief Executive Officer, MIDA. "Beyond expanding capacity, this facility strengthens local supply chain resilience, accelerates technology adoption and supports the development of skilled Malaysian talent, in line with the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 and our National Investment Aspirations. MIDA will continue to facilitate high-quality investments that generate sustainable, long-term value for Malaysia."

"Today marks an important milestone for Amcor and our partners in Malaysia. The opening of this new coating facility underscores our long-term commitment to supporting our partners in the healthcare sector across Asia Pacific," said Chris Kenneally, President, Amcor Flexibles Asia Pacific. "It also demonstrates the strength of collaboration across our global network in bringing advanced capabilities to the region and serving customers more effectively."
