Camel Group has officially opened a new aluminium packaging facility in central Vietnam, significantly boosting its manufacturing capacity and strengthening its regional supply chain network.

The group inaugurated the A&C International Packaging factory at the Quang Ngang Industrial Park in Quang Tri province on 6 November 2026. The company described the move as a major milestone within its long-term investment strategy.

Representing a total investment of around VND2.7 trillion (£83m / $105.8m) and spanning nearly 10 hectares, the site is designed to achieve an eventual production capacity of up to one billion aluminium packaging units per year.

Le Quang Thinh, board member at Camel Group, commented: “The factory is a strategic link in the company’s roadmap to complete its supply chain. The investment enables the company to expand high-quality aluminium packaging, raise competitiveness, and expand the market.”

To ensure high output standards, the facility has been fitted with an automated, closed-loop production line imported from the United States and Europe. It is positioned to supply premium packaging products tailored to both domestic beverage brands and international export markets.

Highlighting the regional significance of the project, Le Duc Tien, Vice Chairman of the Quang Tri People’s Committee, stated: “We lauded the company’s efforts to complete the project on schedule. Leveraging its large investment capital and modern production technology, the facility will contribute to enhancing Quang Tri’s industrial production capacity. The investment also addresses the demand for packaging within the beverage industry supply chain, serving both the domestic market and export requirements.”

The facility’s opening comes at a crucial time for the sector. Industry data from IMARC Group projects Vietnam’s beverage packaging market to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.98 per cent between 2026 and 2034. Driven by continuous product diversification and a sharp focus on sustainable, consumer-friendly formats, the Vietnamese market remains on a strong upward trajectory within the wider Asian beverage ecosystem.
