Netherlands-based Clondalkin LPF has invested in new machinery for the production of stand-up pouches.
According to the market leading producer of high performance barrier packaging, the move adds to the company’s existing capabilities manufacturing complex multi-layer barrier laminates for food, non-food and confectionery products.
Clondalkin LPF can now produce a wide range of stand-up pouches with elliptical bottom (doypack) or flat bottom, pouches with round corners, shaped pouches, zippered pouches and retort pouches using a range of substrates between 60-300 micron, all in combination with a possible Easy Opening by Laser, using LPF's light radiation technology.
The company, which also supplies high performance rotogravure and flexo printed laminates and flat pouches, describes the investment as “a logical step” in light of its position of knowledge and leadership within the supply of packaging to food, drink and pet food sector.
“Stand up pouches are growing at 5% per annum and are a product that our customers need,” says LPF general manager Rienk Jan van der Kooi.
“The growing demand for our products has recently led to us appointing four additional people to our sales team who will be taking this new product to market globally.”
Clondalkin Group operates in a wide range of packaging product sectors across international markets with over 35 production facilities in Europe and North America.
