Wipak has invested in several of its European facilities, including Walsrode in Germany
Wipak invests in multiple expansions
Finland-based flexpack company Wipak has made a number of investments that it says will strengthen operations. A new extrusion production line at its Nastola facility will boost annual capacity and expand its portfolio in recycle-ready and healthcare packaging. This will allow Wipak to introduce a new range of PE-based films for Flowpack applications, as well as PE-based lidding films. The films are designed for recycling and suitable for food industry applications. In addition, cleanroom facilities for its Steriking products will be updated and expanded over the next three years.
Wipak will also make investments
at other European facilities. At Walsrode in Germany, it will make a “multi-million Euro investment” over the next three years, adding converting machinery and optimised material flows to improve manufacturing processes and enhance logistics efficiency. It will also invest “several million” Euros at its site in Spain. It has also installed a ‘Greencast’ line at its Gryspeert facility in France, allowing it to provide co-extruded mono-material solutions for thermoforming applications. “These investments show that we
are all in on growth, innovation, and sustainability,” said Karri Koskela, CEO of Wipak. �
