Amcor Ltd is one of the world’s
top 3 global packaging companies with its group Headquarters
in Melbourne Australia. It operates in 34 countries worldwide
with 217 manufacturing sites and 24,000 employees. Within
Europe its Flexible packaging division, Amcor Flexibles
was formed in 2001 as a result of major acquisitions
in the UK and Europe, and has its headquarters in Brussels.
It is a leading supplier of flexible packaging for the
food, beverages and healthcare sectors. An important
element of Amcor’s leadership strategy is product
innovation and development so that they can keep meeting
the needs of a changing world.
In late 2005, the Global
IT Infrastructure Director at Amcor Flexibles undertook
a feasibility study with regards
to developing a MFP strategy to replace the existing
analogue photocopiers at their 12 UK sites. He also wanted
to implement
a standardised supply policy which would put in place
a standardised blue-print for high quality document output
and workflow. In addition by standardising and combining
purchasing this would lead to more competitive purchasing
pricing.
