About Amcor LifeSpan

History

LifeSpan® technology was developed by ICI Australia, in conjunction with the Victorian and NSW Departments of Agriculture in 1991. Since that time the product range and technology of LifeSpan has expanded into several packaging formats that includes the innovative TearFlex and pallet shroud formats for most fruit varieties.

Growth

Amcor acquired the LifeSpan business in 1995 and LifeSpan has since blossomed into one of the leading MAP brands and product range globally. Amcor Flexibles propelled LifeSpan onto the world stage under its overall stewardship and guidance. LifeSpan became the leading bulk Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) brand, known worldwide for its reliability, excellent service and continuous innovation.

Benefits

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

Service

To ensure thorough 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. They also help with monitoring the performance of our products during the packing operation and at destinations after shipping.
