Amcor replaces 1974 lacquering line at Froges foil packaging plant in France

Amcor has inaugurated a new lacquering line at its Froges site in the French Alps, replacing equipment installed in 1974, following an investment of several million euros. The line, described by the company as the fastest in its network for lacquering aluminium foil used in cheese portion packaging, also enables closed-loop solvent capture and recovery and direct printing on foil. The Froges plant employs 150 people and supplies cheese packaging largely for markets in Africa and the Middle East.

Why this mattersA faster line with closed-loop solvent recovery lifts Amcor's foil output for cheese portion packs supplied largely to Africa and the Middle East.
