ZURICH (Yosefardi) – Amcor Tobacco Packaging plans to build a tobacco packaging plant in Indonesia. The production facility is expected to be fully operational in East Java by late 2015.
Amcor will be the first international tobacco packaging player to establish a manufacturing presence in Indonesia.
Indonesia is the third largest tobacco market in the world, and the second largest market in Asia, with tobacco cartons predominately supplied by in-house printers.
Over the past three years Amcor Tobacco Packaging has grown its market share in Indonesia by supplying packaging from the company’s existing sites in Asia, including Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore.
