About Us
Innovia Films was established in October 2004, following the acquisition of the films business of the UCB Group by a consortium led by Dennis Matthewman and Candover Partners Ltd, a leading provider of equity for European buyouts.
Mr Matthewman, who chairs the company says “This is one of only a handful of genuinely innovative companies in the films industry today with an unbeatable depth of knowledge both of its products and its markets.
“The company is led by a highly experienced and dedicated management team who are focused on accelerating development of the business.”
Innovia Films Chief Executive, David Beeby adds “The success of Innovia Films lies in its specialist skills in BOPP and cellulose film development, production and coating. These skills are provided by a highly loyal, dedicated and capable workforce.
“This is a market-led, customer-oriented company which operates in a global market place meeting customer needs through strong research and development, high quality products and responsive service.
“We are focused not only on our own success but on the success we can bring to our customers' operations through our high performance, added value films.”
With a turnover of over Є400m, the business employs some 1,400 people worldwide. Total annual film capacity currently stands at more than 120,000 tonnes.
We have production sites on three continents and dedicated sales offices throughout Europe, the Americas and Asia along with agents and distributors across the globe.
Our business is driven by Research and Development with an investment programme designed to ensure resources are in place to convert our new ideas into innovative, world class products.
