second production site in vietnam
Janoschka strengthens its presence in Ho Chi Minh City
The opening of the second production site in
Ho Chi Minh City sees Janoschka extending its
business operations in Asia considerably, with
the joint venture, APE Vietnam. The company
operates other sites in Malaysia and Singapore
and in doing so has already advanced its strategic
focus onto the Far East. This expansion in
Vietnam emphasises the increasing importance
of the Asian market for the consumer goods
industry and the rising demand for high-quality
packaging.
Experts expect that, by the year 2030 at the latest,
Asia will be the predominant production site
and key sales market worldwide. The increase
in the packaging market there is estimated to
be approximately six per cent and in the year
2018 should make up 40 per cent of the global
packaging business.
Janoschka, with its 24 subsidiaries in 14 countries,
has a comprehensive global network. The
prepress provider has had an active presence
in Vietnam since 2010. Together with the established
subsidiary in Malaysia and a service
office in Singapore, the site in Ho Chi Minh
City serves the whole packaging market of the
booming economic community ASEAN (Association
of South-East Asian Nations).
“With our additional site in Ho Chi Minh City,
we are taking into account the positive development
in the region. We intend to focus even
more strongly in the future on the Asian economic
zone and its growing purchasing power,”
explains Rudi Weis-Schiff, Janoschka´s Director
Business Development. “With international
standards, we have aligned our new production
site in Vietnam to our prepress expertise:
a global, complete value chain, which interlinks
all our dynamic manufacturing processes across
different process stages and local sites.”
A team of 230 employees work in Ho Chi Minh
City. They offer the complete production process
for the packaging sector: beginning with
graphic services, such as artwork and repro.
Using modern technology, as the Think laser for
example, they achieve an annual production capacity
of 40,000 rotogravure cylinders, 30,000
steel bases, in addition to artwork and colour
separations for different market segments including
food and non-food, as well as tobacco
products.
