French packaging plant to be expanded / Adding capacity for multilayered film for fresh foodstuffs
UK packaging manufacturer Linpac Packaging (Birmingham; www.linpac.com) has touted plans to invest EUR 10m in raising output at its plant in Noyal Pontivy / France. Most of the money is to go towards raising output of multilayered barrier film for foodstuffs, according to Roland Castellanos – vice president responsible for Linpac Packaging’s activities in France, Spain and China. The capacity expansion will not see Linpac hire more staff, since the group will simultaneously cut down on the production of less popular PVC films and its derivative products. The new capacity is scheduled to come on stream in 2014.

French media report that the group plans to raise its capacity for stretch film used to package foodstuffs, including meat and butter, by about 1,500 t/y. That is tantamount to an increase of 30%.
Linpac Packaging operates two plants in France – Linpac Packaging Pontivy in the Bretagne region and Linpac Packaging Dalidet in Ballée – which together generate sales of about EUR 200m. About 75% of the plants’ output is exported.
