Constantia Flexibles invests �6 million in film technology

 

These investments will meet growing demand for specialty laminates such as stand-up pouches, with high property barriers, in processed meat industries, processed food (coffee, dry food, and snacks) and confectionery, the Constantia statement read.

Furthermore, the company also installed two blown-film (polyethylene) extrusion lines and it already has several blown-film lines in operation within its global manufacturing network.

“These investments mean we are now fully integrated into the film value chain at the Hueck Folien plant in Weiden and will strengthen Constantia Flexibles’ credentials as a leading supplier of high-performance films for different food industries,” said Stefan Grote, EVP Food Europe. “At the same time, our Ebert plant in Wiesbaden, Germany, will focus on being a leading manufacturer of film-based Twist applications for the confectionery industry.”

In addition, Constantia Flexibles will also integrate an AlOx dual metallizer that will manufacture transparent, high-barrier film products that are catering for the latest consumer trends.
