Amcor has made a multi-million Euro investment in a new printing line at its manufacturing facility in Hardenberg, Netherlands. The investment enhances its industrial film capabilities, supporting rising demand across markets such as growing media, peat, fertilisers, wood shavings, animal bedding, wood pellets, salts and other bulk materials.

Commissioning of the new line is set to begin this summer, with full operation expected in autumn 2026. The new line will provide additional printing capacity for up to 6000 tonnes of packaging per annum when fully utilised.

‘The Hardenberg investment is part of our strategy to support customers across key industrial and agricultural markets in Europe,’ said Daniel Stauber, sales director. ‘It strengthens our existing network and improves regional service for customers.’

The new line is a high performance flexographic printing system designed to deliver consistent, high quality output at scale, supporting both functional performance and on-pack branding requirements.

The increased capacity and improved responsiveness build on Amcor’s established European network of production, printing and service sites for agriculture and industrial packaging, including Ardeer (UK), Steinfeld (Germany), Zele (Belgium) and Zdzieszowice (Poland).

Daniel added, ‘The industrial and agricultural markets represent a strong growth opportunity for our business, and this new capability positions us to support customers more effectively across the region, including evolving requirements around material efficiency, recycle ready packaging and the use of recycled content where suitable.’
