DIC opens sustainable packaging production facility in Jakarta, Indonesia
DIC Corporation has established a new production facility in Jakarta, Indonesia, for coatings suitable for direct food contact materials. The facility is situated on the site of the company's wholly owned subsidiary PT. DIC Graphics and is designed to meet the rising demand for sustainable packaging. The product lineup at the new facility includes high-performance coatings for paper such as HYDRECT, SunStar DFC OPV/Coating, among others. These products will enable the production of paperboard lunch boxes, pizza boxes, and paper cups with water and oil resistance, as well as sealing properties, without hindering recyclability. This facility aligns with the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point food safety management system. The facility aims to produce 1,000 tonnes (t) of coatings annually by fiscal year 2030 (FY30) for markets in Asian countries, including China and Oceania. The facility is well-positioned to serve as an export base for the region, with potential future expansions considered by DIC. The facility has features such as air showers, dusters with high-efficiency particulate air filters, and antibacterial flooring, to ensure safety and quality for direct food contact materials. The plant has also received certification for compliance with Indonesia's halal regulations and adheres to the World Health Organization's (WHO) good manufacturing practices (GMPs). DIC's high-performance coatings allow for the creation of recyclable monomaterial packaging by being applicable to various substrates, thus facilitating the development of easily recyclable packaging solutions. The new facility represents the DIC Group's first foray in Asia, outside of Japan, into producing coatings for the market. This move is in line with the DIC Vision 2030 long-term management plan, which includes advancing efforts to respond to a circular economy as one of its key sustainability strategies. The group is also expanding its sustainable packaging materials lineup to cater to next-generation market needs. The investment in this new facility enables the group to offer high-performance products, previously developed in the US, Europe, and Japan, to local markets in Asia and Oceania.

DIC CORPORATION: New Sustainable Production Facility for Coatings for Direct Food Contact Materials Is Established in Indonesia
TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- DIC Corporation (TOKYO:4631) announced today that it has established a new production facility for coatings suitable for direct food contact materials on the site of a plant belonging to PT. DIC Graphics, a wholly owned subsidiary located in Jakarta, Indonesia. This new facility is the first in the world operated by an inks manufacturer to be designed in compliance with the guiding principles of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP), a globally recognized food safety management system*. The new facility has thus achieved a food safety management system comparable to that of the average food product manufacturer. With an annual production target of 1,000 tonnes by fiscal year 2030 for markets in Asian countries, including the People's Republic of China (PRC), and Oceania, the facility will help the DIC Group meet the rising demand for sustainable packaging. *This statement is based on analysis conducted by DIC. The Company has applied for HACCP certification for the new facility. Expand To create a food safety management system that affirms the exceptional safety and quality required for direct food contact materials, the new production facility has been equipped with, among others, air showers, dusters with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and antibacterial flooring. The new facility has also earned a certification of compliance with Indonesia's halal regulations and is compliant with the World Health Organization's good manufacturing practices (GMP) for guaranteeing that products such as food and pharmaceuticals meet requirements for quality and safety for their intended use. The geopolitically strategic location of Indonesia ideally positions the new facility to serve as an export base for Asia and Oceania, as a result of which DIC is considering further facility expansion going forward. DIC produces high-performance coatings that can be applied to film, paper and other substrates to impart the necessary performance features, enabling the creation of highly recyclable mono-material packaging. This makes it possible to develop and manufacture packaging that can be readily recycled. The new production facility—the DIC Group's first in Asia, outside of Japan, that is dedicated to producing coatings suitable for direct food contact materials—marks a major step toward strengthening the Group's competitiveness in the global market for sustainable packaging. Advancing efforts to respond to a circular economy is one of the key sustainability strategies set forth in the DIC Vision 2030 long-term management plan. Capital investment in this new facility will make it possible for the Group to offer locally produced high-performance products—for which technologies were originally developed in the United States, Europe, and Japan—in Asian countries, including the PRC, and Oceania, thereby helping to foster sustainable packaging markets.
