This has created leaner manufacturing and improved quality assurance for business partners. The investment reinforces Amcor's commitment to both hospital and medicalmarketplaces whilst also supporting ongoing efforts to bring significant benefits to customers.
This major renovation and upgrade took place at Amcor Flexibles Coulommiers in France, which has played a leading role in the supply of sterilisation pouches and reels to hospitals and medical device manufacturers for over 30 years.
During the course of the expansion operation, all bag converting machines were transferred under one single roof and improvements were also made to increase the size of the production area, enabling productivity targets to be realised.
Additionally, the expansion has also created optimal safety conditions for co-workers to operate according to GMP standards with the extension of the clean room. In addition to holding ISO 9001, 13485, 14001 certifications and packaging products compliance with EN ISO 11607-1 and EN868-5, AF Coulommiers is now accredited with ISO 8 standards (air treatment) to meet market hygiene requirements.
Commenting on the renovation and expansion project, AF Coulommiers' Plant General Manager, Daniel Harbon, said: "The recent expansion programme further improves our production potential and is evidence of the company's ongoing commitment to delivering efficient and innovative packaging solutions to our customers. A dedicated team was appointed to oversee the implementation of this project and we are delighted that it was completed on time and within budget without disruption to our production schedule. The enormous benefits of the expansion will help us grow our offer to the European and Global territories and enhance our status as a Centre of Excellence for Converted Medical Packaging".
