Attendees will have the opportunity to visit the Kyabram Food Can Manufacturing Facility where they will see the Tinplate food can and nutrition can manufacturing process.

Jamestrong Packaging has opened a 6500 square-metre warehouse in Kyabram, Victoria, adjacent to the can maker's existing manufacturing facility. The warehouse features a positive air-flow system that prevents ingress of air and any potential contaminants. The system makes the facility a clean environment for the manufacture of food packaging.

Jamestrong managing director John Bigley said the acquisition of the $2m-plus warehouse was another step in its commitment to enhancing food safety since it was acquired by Shanghai-YuanLong Investment Co Ltd. The existing Kyabram manufacturing facility produces steel food cans from 52mm to 153mm, and can ends can be supplied from 49mm to 153mm in diameter.
