AIP VIC Members had the opportunity this week to attend Jamestrong Kyabram Food Can Manufacturing Facility where they saw the Tinplate food can and nutrition can manufacturing process.
Jamestrong Packaging opened the 6500 square-metre warehouse in Kyabram, adjacent to the can maker’s existing manufacturing facility. The warehouse features a positive air-flow system that prevents ingress of air and any potential contaminants. The system makes the facility a clean environment for the manufacture of food packaging.
Jamestrong managing director John Bigley said the acquisition of the $2m-plus warehouse was another step in its commitment to enhancing food safety since it was acquired by Shanghai-YuanLong Investment Co Ltd. The existing Kyabram manufacturing facility produces steel food cans from 52mm to 153mm, and can ends can be supplied from 49mm to 153mm in diameter.
The AIP would like to take this opportunity to thank John Bigley MAIP and his team at Kyabram for opening up their wonderful site to the Institute.
