Italian machinery maker Amut Group said Sept. 16 it has set up technical service operations in Vietnam and Indonesia to meet increased demand for its equipment in Southeast Asia.
The Novara, Italy-based firm did not provide details on the operations in its statement but said it has recently finalized several contracts in the countries, including two projects in Indonesia using its AMP 850 GP thermoforming machine as part of an inline system, with an extruder and related equipment, to make water cups with an output of 96,000 pieces per hour.
The company also said that since the Chinaplas show in May, it has wrapped up two contracts for thermoforming machinery in Vietnam, for manufacturing polypropylene cups and PP and PET lids, with its AMP 630 and VPK-C84 models.
