Integrated Packaging Group extruder of the month
Head office: Victoria, Australia CEO: John Cerini Founded: 1982 Ownership: Private Turnover (2017): A$220m (US$167m)
Profile: IPG was founded in 1982, as a manufacturer of one-sided adhesive stretch films for the Australian market. It has since expanded into a host of other products, adding agricultural film, packaging, recycling and other operations that extend internationally.
Product lines: The company is a specialist in stretch film, and focuses most of its attention on the agricultural market. It is a leader in silage film – which is sold under its Silawrap and Endurowrap brands. However, it offers a wide range of other film products, including PVC food film, stretch hoods, printed films and pre-stretch film.
Factory locations: IPG makes its industrial and agricultural products at three factories in Australia (in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth), and one in New Zealand (Auckland). Products made here include blown and cast stretch film, printed and plain collation stretch film and pallet wrap. Other facilities have become part of IPG through acquisition. For example, its IR Composite subsidiary, based in Victoria, recycles agricultural and other polyethylene-based plastics into products such as decking. At the same time, its purchase of parts of Amcor’s business in 2012 came with three production facilities in Australia. IPG recently moved into a new facility in Somerton, Victoria.
