Coveris increases focus on paper-based solutions
Primarily known for its plastic packaging and film products, European packaging manufacturer Coveris has added a stronger focus on its paper packaging offer. But, according to CEO Jakob A. Mosser, this by no means marks a withdrawal from the plastics packaging segment. Paper is clearly on trend at the moment and the demand
for paper solutions is steadily increasing. “We have over 30 years of experience in the production of paper packaging and have expanded this business area through investments and acquisitions. All of this is the basis for the innovations that we are launching in the paper sector, such as recyclable paper packaging with very good barrier properties against moisture or grease,” said Mosser. The newly created Paper Business Unit – which already
accounts for 30% of sales – does not, however, represent a departure from flexible packaging materials and plastic-based films for Coveris. Coveris is convinced that it can offer highly functional and truly sustainable packaging solutions based on both plastic and paper.
“In addition to the innovations in paper-based solutions,
we have many sustainable developments in films and flexible packaging – be it thinner materials, mono materials, shelf life, use of recyclates or better recyclability. We continuously invest in research and development to further expand our pioneering role in Europe and worldwide.”
