Songwon feeling the strain
South Korean specialty chemical producer Songwon achieved consolidated sales of 265.4bn KRW ($191.6m, approximately) in Q2 2025, marking a decrease in revenue of 3.0% from 2024. The company, which is a leading supplier of polymer stabilisers, said it continues to face chal- lenges such as subdued global demand, geopoliti- cal uncertainties, and ongoing margin pressure across key regions.

Segment Manager Direct Extrusion at Coperion. “With the comprehensive expertise of our two companies, we have been able to develop many innovative solutions over the years that have increased the throughput rates of Brückner film stretching lines, boosted their efficiency, and im- proved film quality.” Brückner initially used Coperion ZSK extruders for BOPP film lines
before the range of applications expanded and Brückner began using ZSK extruders to implement lines for BOPET, BSF, and BOPA films. Thanks to a high torque, this
particular range of extruder can achieve very high throughputs while maintaining low product tempera- tures, said Coperion. �
