About Lifespan products

History

LifeSpan® technology was born in Australia in 1991, within ICI in conjunction with the Victorian and NSW Departments of Agriculture. Since that time the product range and technology of the LifeSpan products has expanded into several packaging formats for an ever growing product range that now also includes the innovative TearFlex pallet shroud and bin liner formats for most fresh produce varieties.

Growth

Amcor acquired the LifeSpan business in 1995 and it has since blossomed into one of the leading MAP brands globally, known for reliability, excellent service and continuous innovation.

Benefits

The global appeal and ease of use is why Amcor's LifeSpan products now have such a commanding presence in the major produce markets worldwide. Packers and exporters alike point to its overall quality performance and the cost savings obtained.

Service

To ensure excellent service and support for the products, the LifeSpan product range is sold through a network of agents based in most major produce growing regions.

Customers are further supported by specialist LifeSpan sales and technical staff who regularly visit key markets. They are able to train packers new to LifeSpan products and discuss technical or logistics issues with existing users.

Agents and lifespan staff also help with monitoring the performance of our products during the packing operation and at destinations after shipping.
