Multi-Color invests in Chinese operation

US converter Multi-Color Corporation plans to establish a label operation in China. Having received Chinese government approval, MCC will be located in the southern city of Guangzhou, near many national and international consumer products brand owners.

The new business will be run by MCC’s Asia Pacific president of consumer products, Brenton Barrett. He will lead a largely local team with specific expatriate support. ‘We look forward to being able to support our existing international customers and new customers in the Chinese market,’ said MCC’s president and CEO Nigel Vinecombe. ‘This investment underlines our commitment to the home & personal care and food & beverage market segments and to developing markets. We expect to be operational in the first quarter of calendar 2011.’
