BOPP and CPP films manufacturer Poligal (Narón / Spain; www.poligal.com) is to shut down the plant at its headquarters. The company is restructuring since production in Narón and its margins have had to sustain tough market conditions, including high raw material prices and overcapacity. Its customers will be served from Poligal's other facilities.

In addition to the Narón plant, the company operates another in Portugal. In 2018, Poligal also opened a factory in Poland with a capacity of 40,000 t/y – see Plasteurope.com of 26.02.2018. The company is part of family-owned Grup Peralada (Barcelona / Spain; www.grupperalada.com), which has lines of business in viticulture, casinos, hotels, gastronomy as well as art and culture.
