More major investment from Clondalkin

4 October 2013


The Engineered Films business unit of Clondalkin's Flexible Packaging Division has completed another multi-million euro investment in two new Comexi F2 high speed flexo presses for its manufacturing locations at Flexoplast in Harlingen, The Netherlands, and at Wentus in Höxter, Germany.

The new presses follow significant production investments at both sites over the past five years, including 8 and 10-colour presses and a Reifenhäuser 5-layer barrier extruder at Flexoplast, and an 8-colour Comexi, Reifenhäuser 5-layer barrier cast film line, Langlaser slitter and Norrdmechanica duplex laminator at Wentus.

Of the latest investments, Engineered Films managing director Jeroen van der Meer says: "The expansion in production capacity will enable further growth in key market segments including pre-packers and fresh food, frozen food and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Sustainability is one of the key drivers of our corporate social responsibility policy and the new presses are equipped with advanced technologies to reduce energy consumption and to decrease set-up and printing waste."

The Flexoplast and Wentus operations specialise in blown and cast extrusion, printing and laminating and produce up to 7-layer laminates printed in up to eight colours.
