Rani Plast, founded in 1955, is a major producer of cast and blown film, with its products used mainly in packaging, industry and agriculture. In its early days, the company made plastic bags on rolls, but has since branched out into many other forms of extruded film – from freezer bags and flexible packaging to timber- wrapping film and agricultural mainstays such as silage film and bale wrap.


Product lines:


The company’s relevant product lines are in packaging, agricultural and industrial film. Its food packaging includes bags, sacks and shrink film. It also makes pallet stretch film. In agriculture, it offers silage film in lengths up to 22m. As well as conventional silage film, it offers products with an oxygen barrier, as well as underlayer and sidewall films.


Factory locations:


The company says it has nine factories in five separate countries, including those of sister or subsidiary companies. It recently boosted production capacity at its Bjolas plant in Finland, which makes packaging and agricultural film. Other production plants include its HP Rani Plast factory, which makes plastic bags on rolls, Art-Pak – which makes timber wrapping films and hoods – and Tervakoski Film, which makes electrical insulation films.
