JBF Bahrain, founded in 2012, is a producer of biaxially oriented PET (BOPET) films, for applications including food packaging, photovoltaics, electrical insulation, labelling and flat screens. These use an increasing amount of recycled materials. The company also produces metallised film. Its production facility has a capacity that exceeds 90,000 tonnes/year. It says that it exports to more than 100 countries.
Product lines:
The company’s main product line is BOPET film – branded as Aryafilm – which is available in more than 200 variants, such as plain/corona treated, chemically treated (for retort application), anti-static, high-friction and heat-sealable products. Production is split between thin film (9-50 microns) – which tends to be used for packaging – and thick film, up to about 350 microns. Its metallised film is also available in many varieties. Many films use chemically recycled PET, sourced from sister company JBF Global Europe in Belgium.
Factory location:
The company has a production facility in Al Hidd that makes its entire range of products. Here, it has three BOPET lines (two for thin film, one for thick) supplier by Dornier, and two metallisers from Bobst. JBF recently underwent refinancing, which saw its UAE-based sister company sold off, leaving the core of the Belgium- and Bahrain-based businesses.
