Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. recently received the Economic Development Award, in recognition of its contribution to the local economy, at the South Metro Development Outlook (SMDO) Conference in Atlanta, which is ranked 10th as the fastest growing city in the U.S. with a projected economic growth rate of 3.5% between 2011- 2016. Toppan Printing is located in Atlanta’s southern region, which is also experiencing economic growth.
Toppan Printing has established local subsidiary Toppan USA, Inc. in Georgia, and is aiming to complete the company’s new plant and commence mass production in March 2016. This will be Toppan Printing’s first transparent barrier film manufacturing site outside Japan. With the launch of this new plant, Toppan Printing will bolster its capacity to supply transparent barrier films, including GL FILM, to packaging manufacturers in North America and Europe and further expand its business by taking advantage of the new plant’s location.
Due to factors such as environmental considerations, Toppan Printing is anticipating further expansion of demand for barrier films in the global packaging market. In particular, demand for barrier films is expected to grow in the North American market, where large structural shifts are taking place in the food packaging industry, such as a need for longer shelf lives brought by changes in lifestyles, and a switch from glass bottles and metal cans to flexible packaging.
