Malaysian packaging manufacturer Scientex has announced plans to invest RM50m ($16m) in a bid to increase the production capacity of its consumer packaging business by 50%.
Scientex has contracted the purchase of five blown film machine lines from Germany-based Windmoller & Holscher.
According to the company, the total number of W&H extrusion machines at present are 17.
Machinery acquisition is expected to maximize the production capacity of consumer packaging from the existing 34,000t to 51,000t annually.
The new lines, which will be delivered in stages from January 2014, are scheduled to be fully commissioned by FY14 end.
