06 Jan 2022 --- Infant food, nutritional, and well-being packaging specialist Hoffmann Neopac is upgrading its manufacturing facility in the Netherlands with a €4 million (US$4.5 million) investment to create a tin production line for baby milk powder products. Newly installed and operating in a segregated room for food-grade compliance, the new line is already servicing a major customer in the baby milk sector, says the company. “The new dedicated baby milk powder tins line at our facility in the Netherlands further cements Hoffmann’s standing as a European specialties producer in the metal packaging sector,” says Mark Aegler, CEO of Hoffmann Neopac. “For the future, we continue investing heavily in decarbonizing our production sites and products, thereby reducing our overall impact in the steel packaging supply chain.” Hoffmann manufactures its tin supplies through production standards applicable for major markets like the EU, US and China. The US$4.5 million investment creates the capacity to expand its baby milk powder tins production to 118 million pieces per year. Currently, the line is producing 99 mm diameter cans with volumes of up to 400 g. The newly dedicated room also has space for a second production line to accommodate continued growth.
