Polibak, founded in 1994, is a producer of both BOPP and CPP film. It is located in the Izmire Ataturk Organised Industrial Zone and exports its products worldwide – to markets including the USA, Russia, Brazil and Tunisia. Its products are used in a variety of end markets, including food, labelling, stationery and textile packaging. It is one of the 300 largest companies in Turkey.
Product lines:
The company produces a wide range of BOPP and CPP film. In BOPP, its products include LNC co-extruded film, in which one side of the film is treated to give better performance on HFFS and VFFS machines. Film properties include high heat seal strength and excellent hot tack. Other versions of the film are adapted to have either high coefficient of friction (where low slip is required) or low coefficient of friction, for high speed machines. It also offers co-extruded bag film, and a high gloss version. In CPP, it offers versions including a tear-resistant grade, and a special grade for to make in-mould labels.
Factory location:
The company began manufacturing, in Izmir, in 1994. Since then, it has expanded operations – adding metallisation, slitting and more production – so it now has three neighbouring facilities. These house five BOPP lines – which together have a capacity of 155,000 tonnes/year – as well as a 3,000 tonnes/year CPP line. The company will soon boost capacity by 40%, when a new 10.4m-wide metallised BOPP line from Brueckner comes online in late 2019. This will bring its total output to 180,000 tonnes/year.
