Flexible Packaging Alliantz
to Serve Southeast Asia and China
Newly-formed joint venture between Rollprint Packaging and Acme Packaging
of Singapore to supply Asian flexible packaging market.
Alliantz venture formed to address global flexible packaging supply requirements
as an Asian market provider. Alliantz is a joint venture between Rollprint
Packaging Products, Inc., Addison, IL and Acme Packaging Co. (Pte) Ltd.,
Singapore.
Alliantz Flexible Packaging Pte. Ltd., Singapore has been formed to serve
the flexible packaging supply needs of Southeast Asia and China. The new
entity will be serving local firms as well as multinational companies
requiring an Asian supply source.
Dhuanne Dodrill, president of Rollprint, has been named Alliantz’s chairman
of the board. Former Acme principals, Eddy Chan, Ph.D. and Ebing Chia,
are the managing director/chief executive officer and chief operating
officer, respectively. Craig Livingston, Rollprint’s vice president of
business development also has been appointed to the board, along with
Chan and Chia.
“The Alliantz joint venture will enable Rollprint to take its global supply
abilities to the next level,” explains Dodrill. “It allows us to manufacture
our technologically-advanced flexible packaging structures locally for
companies with facilities in Southeast Asia.”
“Acme Packaging has been supplying the demanding sterile medical device
industry for more than 25 years. By merging Acme into Alliantz, we will
be able to expand our offering of high-quality flexible packaging materials
to our customers and help ensure their success in the marketplace.” Chan
explains.

The new company will be headquartered in Singapore, in a facility that
is in the process of being expanded. The current ISO 9000 certified plant,
with Class 100K clean room manufacturing, is being increased by more than
50 percent to allow the expansion of manufacturing capabilities. A new
state-of-the-art, three-layer, blown film extrusion line, manufactured
by Brampton Engineering, Inc is being installed. The new line is expected
to be operational later this year.
“Alliantz Flexible Packaging will allow us to produce Rollprint’s proprietary
formable bottom webs and peelable structures in Southeast Asia. We will
also be transferring technology so that Alliantz can supply Rollprint’s
high-barrier ClearFoil® materials along with our foil-based products and
chemically resistant structures,” Dodrill notes.
With the joint venture structure now in place, there will also be an increased
focus on joint-development programs between Alliantz and Rollprint.
“We have worked together quite effectively on developing ClearForm®,
a very high-quality, extremely cost-effective thermoformable bottom web.
Sharing technology to benefit both the Asian and the U.S. markets is something
we will be doing more of in the future,” Chan says.
Alliantz will be concentrating on applications in the sterile medical
disposable, pharmaceutical, neutraceutical, specialty foods and industrial
(fragrances, chemicals, compounds, etc.) areas.
As the former owners of Acme Packaging, one of the leading Southeast Asian
manufacturers of state-of-the-art flexible packaging for medical packaging
applications, Chan and Chia bring a solid technology and market knowledge
base to the partnership. “We have always operated under the hallmarks
of quality, reliability and value to the customer,” Chan says. “We look
forward to taking our business to the next level via the Alliantz joint
venture by providing better value proposition to our customers—present
and future.”
