Innovation is our watchword. It underpins our product development activities and manufacturing processes, and is the driving force behind the way we operate as a business.
We are constantly striving to improve and refine our products and the machinery and methods we use to manufacture them. Our in-house team of scientists and engineers work in close collaboration to meet our customers’ current demands and anticipate their future requirements. It is this approach, coupled with our unrivalled in-house expertise across a number of specialist disciplines, that has secured our place as an undisputed global leader in our field.
Meeting challenges, solving problems
Our goal is to find optimum solutions to scientific and technical challenges, always with a single aim in mind: to satisfy our customers’ current and future requirements. Here are just a few examples of our recent success stories:
- Our in-house teams have developed multi-layer dies enabling the production of completely new types of speciality films.
- In-house technical innovations mean we can now produce jumbo 24K metre reels for the label industry, saving on time and costs for our customers in this market.
- We have developed technically sophisticated film inspection cameras that markedly improve fault detection processes.
- In response to customer demand, we have developed new perforation techniques for multiwrap cigarette packs enabling fast unpacking and shelf stocking.
Environmental innovations
As an environmentally responsible company, we are constantly looking for new ways to reduce our carbon footprint. For example:
- We provide our own waste recovery system, re-extruding and pellitising uncoated scrap OPP film for use in place of expensive virgin polymer. This means less landfill scrap and lower costs.
- We have our own solvent recovery system, providing reusable solvents. This reduces both costs and solvent emissions into the atmosphere.
