Amcor inaugurates MDO line in Peru
Amcor announced the installation and operational readiness of a new Machine Direction Orientation (MDO) line at its facility in Peru. This state-of-the-art technology is set to enhance packaging for customers across Latin America, providing more sustainable and efficient solutions with Amcor’s proprietary AmPrima Plus films.
On September 23, 2025, Amcor inaugurated its new technology alongside more than 70 representatives from key customers.
When comparing a standard multilayer sauce pouch structure (PET/PE-EVOH) with AmPrima Plus, the environmental advantages include:
26% reduction in carbon footprint
22% reduction in non-renewable primary energy demand
19% reduction in water consumption
AmPrima Plus is part of Amcor's ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability. By incorporating this new technology in Peru, customers in Latin America are able to access high-quality, designed-to-be-recycled packaging that meets the growing demand for more sustainable products.
Amcor has successfully launched various packaging solutions in the Latin America region using AmPrima Plus technology, including packaging for liquid baby shampoo in Brazil, dulce de leche in Argentina, wet condiments in Costa Rica, dry fruits in Chile and liquid household products in Costa Rica and Chile.
“The new MDO line not only enhances our production capabilities but also aligns with our commitment to sustainability. We are confident that our customers across Latin America will benefit greatly from the superior quality and environmental advantages of AmPrima Plus recycle-ready packaging solutions,” commented Laetitia Sanchez, Marketing Director at Amcor Latin America.
