TSF will begin mass production on the new hybrid line from mid-November this year, supplying BOPP and BOPE films to packaging converters and global brand owners in sectors such as food and FMCG in India and throughout the world.
While the company has commercialized solutions in the marketplace and has been developing and refining BOPE technology, PACK EXPO marks one of the first significant opportunities to highlight its full potential on a global stage, TC Transcontinental notes.
Vitopel do Brasil is a specialized BOPP film producer known for its innovation and quality over nearly four decades. Acquisition bolsters Oben’s position in the flexible packaging films industry and establishes local BOPP manufacturing in Brazil.
Plastchim-T says enlarging its BOPP manufacturing capacity would be a pre-condition to further grow BOPE – one of the few packaging film segments where the company has a unique proposition with 100% recyclable eco-friendly film.
The investment includes ancillary equipment and a 120,000 sq. ft building expansion in TC Transcontinental Packaging’s Spartanburg, South Carolina, facility.
Based in Tampa Florida, Bayshore Films is a long-established strategic customized distributor of a wide range of packaging films, with over 15 warehousing facilities in strategic locations throughout North America.
