It focuses on fresh food packaging – including ‘food to go’, ready meals and fresh produce, for customers including food manufacturers and retailers.
Product lines:
The company has four main product lines, for food-to-go, ready meals and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) – as well as non-food packaging. In food- to-go, if offers expanded PS and PP trays that are hinged and sealable. These also use around 30% recyclate. Its ready meal packaging includes XPS, XPP and rigid PP and PET, which can be used for hot use applications. Its PP-based MAP trays are used for products such as fresh meat, poultry and seafood. Its non-food XPS packaging is for products like floor underlay.

It recently took delivery of a new rPET extrusion line from Meaf Machines, for the production of meat packaging. The new line is also suitable for the production of PP trays without alterations.
