DIC Asia Pacific’s Activities

Remaining nimble amid tough market conditions

Since 2020, DIC Asia Pacific has focused on safety, recovery and stable growth, while facing a growing supply chain crisis, rising raw material prices, ongoing COVID-19 transmissions, and in more recent days the Ukraine crisis which has led to higher energy costs. Despite these disruptions, DIC AP has remained nimble to market changes and focused on delivering quality products and services.
Amid ongoing COVID-19 transmissions, global supply chain woes and raw material suppliers force majeure, DIC Asia Pacific has managed key raw materials and logistics to meet the daily requirements of our customers, while continuing to implement measures to keep members safe and optimize operations.

Rising Demand for Sustainable Food Packaging

The Asia–Pacific region has benefitted from strong demand for safer and more sustainable food packaging as consumption behaviors changed. By year-end, we delivered overall volumes above pre-COVID-19 levels, with packaging volumes exceeding the prior year. The region will work toward delivering our commitments to our valued customers.

Award–Winning Dedication and Loyalty in Vietnam

In January 2022, DIC (Vietnam) Co., Ltd., was awarded a certificate of appreciation by the Group in recognition for their strong dedication and loyalty to the Company and our customers. During the country’s nationwide lockdown between July 2021 and October 2021, 57 members resided in the plant to ensure business and operations continuity, living the vision and values of The DIC Way.

Recovering from the Aftermath of the Malaysian Floods

Last year, a massive flood struck Malaysia. Our plant was flooded and personal property damaged. Without losing precious time, the local and regional teams stepped up to strategize the plant’s recovery, as well as providing support to all affected members.

Securing Member Safety

Our top priority has always been the safety of all employees, whether they are working on-site at the factories or working from home. The high vaccination rates across the regional countries instilled much-needed confidence in our daily operations, as we welcomed most employees back to the plants.
DIC Australia Pty Ltd. and DIC New Zealand Ltd. also achieved its first ISO 45001 safety accreditation. All employees of the two companies are part of this success and this is a great step forward in demonstrating a positive change in DIC’s safety culture, that has always been at the heart of our business.
