The investment will serve growing demand from the confectionery industry for film-based packaging.
The Weiden site is the home to Constantia Hueck Folien, with more than 800 employees. The company has invested roughly Euro 60 million in the plant over the last 10 years, including the opening of a new state-of-the-art research and development center for polymer films and film laminates in 2015.
In the second half of 2016, the Duplex lamination machine installed in 2014 will be extended to a Triplex machine. It will be able to produce 3-layer laminates for various applications in a highly-efficient and cost-effective way in just one operation.
Constantia Flexibles is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of flexible packaging products and labels.
