Amcor, a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, has opened an advanced healthcare packaging coating facility in Subang Jaya, Selangor, marking a significant expansion of its manufacturing footprint in Malaysia and Southeast Asia.
The facility, representing an investment of over $35 million, introduces air-knife coating technology to the region for the production of coated medical paper used in sterile medical device packaging. Facilitated by Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), this investment further strengthens Malaysia's position as an integrated regional hub for healthcare packaging, enhancing supply chain resilience through local access.
It expands Amcor's existing healthcare packaging operations into a fully integrated manufacturing site, positioned to support healthcare customers across the region with greater speed and reliability. By localising production, Amcor gains dual sourcing options, strengthens long-term supply chain reliability and creates a platform for pilot-to-production scale-up, supporting rapid trials, closer technical collaboration and faster commercialization for regional customers.
Amcor's investment adds to a growing pipeline of high-value commitments to Malaysia's medical device industry. In 2025, Malaysia approved RM152 million in medical device investments, signalling sustained global confidence in the country as a preferred manufacturing base for the healthcare industry.
The facility is equipped with state-of-the-art production systems, including advanced inspection and automated manufacturing processes, designed to deliver consistent quality and reliability for healthcare packaging applications.
