Amcor has opened an onsite bottling plant at the Campbell’s Soup veg juice factory in Paris, Texas, US.
The plant will make 50 million hot-fillable PET bottles each year. Campbell’s increased access to packaging will also deliver sustainability benefits including reduced freight costs and carbon emissions, and enhanced operational efficiencies.
Larry Weber, Vice President of Amcor’s North American beverages, said: “We’re excited about establishing this on-site operation because it expands our long-time strategic partnership with Campbell and gives us an opportunity to better serve a key strategic customer.”
Amcor invested $7 million (€6.4 million) to re-purpose the Paris manufacturing facility. The on-site operation will produce 46oz (1.3 litre) and 64oz PET containers for a variety of V8 vegetable juice products.
