Amcor Orders Botany Mill Installation, Commissioning Services from Metso

Amcor Packaging (Australia) Pty Ltd, as part of its new machine project for a containerboard line at its Botany Mill in Sydney, Australia, has awarded supply installation and commissioning services to Metso, Finland. The value of the order was not disclosed.

Metso received the main order for the containerboard line from Amcor in 2008 and an add-on order for this line was received from Amcor in 2010. The new order will cover the installation of the containerboard machine equipment for the line and supervision services related to commissioning, testing, and startup, as well as training services.

The Botany Paper Mill will generate high-quality recycled paper from waste collected throughout the Sydney area. It will produce paper-based products across a wider range of weights and create packaging that is lighter, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly, Metso notes.

Amcor Packaging (Australia) Pty Ltd is part of Amcor Limited, a global packaging manufacturer offering a broad range of plastic, fiber, metal, and glass packaging products, along with packaging-related services. It has annual sales of about EUR 9 billion and 35,000 employees worldwide, through more than 300 manufacturing sites it operates in 43 countries.
