EXTRUDER OF THE MONTH
Respack Head office:
Ownership: Profile:
Kedah, Malaysia
Managing director: CK Wan Founded:
2011 Private
Respack was established in 2011 as a plastics recycler and resin distributor, but a joint venture with Prior Packaging of Australia saw it move into manufacturing. It set up its first plant that year, making wide web films. It has since added new production facilities, to make products including pallet wrap and stretch film.
Product lines:
The company’s main line is its Raptor range of multi-layer cast stretch film that is used for pallet wrapping. It is available in hand, machine and speciality versions and is made on two production lines. Its hand pallet wraps include its lightweight Xforce and stiff Xtreme brands, while its speciality grades include niche products such as anti-static and anti-UV products. The company recently launched its Airmax film, which it says is the first macro-performated pallet wrap produced in Asia. Flexpack products are made on 40 lines, while it also produces a range of ‘eco packaging’ made from compostable and recycled plastics.
Factory locations:
Respack’s main production facility is its 80,000 sq ft plant in Kedah, where it makes blown film products including films and bags for the construction and agricultural industries. In 2014 it created its pallet wrap division, Respack Polyfilm, which has a 320,000 sq ft facilty making multi-layer cast stretch films. It began with a line from Colines of Italy, with an initial output of 700 tonnes/month – but doubled production in 2015 after buying a similar line from SML of Austria. The company has since doubled its surface area at its main plant – after buying neighbouring land – and will create a facility to make food contact packaging.
