The Interstate Milk Suppliers (IMS) certification received by Ampac’s manufacturing centre of excellence in Hanover Park, Illinois, opens additional opportunities for Ampac to service a growing flexible packaging segment: dairy products.
IMS certification is a requirement to be part of the supply chain in the US dairy industry. Spouted stand-up pouches, a strength among Ampac’s core capabilities, are a natural fit for this market segment. Becoming IMS-certified allows Ampac to widen its pouch applications and innovation to now include dairy food products, providing packaging expertise and high quality products to the dairy industry.
As an IMS-certified facility, Ampac’s Hanover Park Center of Excellence can now provide printed laminations and/or pre-made pouches (with or without spouts) to the dairy industry.
“Adding the IMS certification to Ampac’s vast expertise will allow us to grow a market segment that’s in high demand,” said Millie Nuno, Ampac senior market manager for food. “Our capabilities in pre-made pouches are an excellent fit for the dairy industry.”
