about us :: breakthroughs
  • Built the first 7-layer cast barrier film line with PVdC encapsulation
  • Manufactured the world's largest and most advanced 9-layer blown film coextrusion line for barrier film production, in 2000
  • Developed a patented technology for encapsulation in a blown film coextrusion die allowing the processing of heat sensitive polymers like PVdC in commercial size dies
  • Built the first commercial coextrusion line for biaxially oriented barrier film with PVdC for shrink bags used in the food industry
  • Designed, manufactured and provided technology transfer for the first commercial extrusion line to produce PVB sheet for use in the automotive and construction industries
  • Developed the first PVdC extrusion coating line to produce barrier PVC sheet for blister packaging in the pharmaceutical industry
  • Built the first commercial single-layer line for biaxially oriented PVdC film for use in food packaging
  • Pioneered the development of the secondary air ring to increase output and improve film clarity in blown film lines
  • One of two companies in the world to pioneer the development of the dual lip air ring
  • Developed the patented MacroPack stackable coextrusion die for the extrusion for highly degradable polymers in combination with high melt temperature polymers
  • First in the world to successfully apply encapsulation technology in the blown film process, thus allowing the processing of polymers with poor temperature stability, improved die cleaning and polymer purging
