Increasing both quality and quantity, Wipak’s new production line expands the range of food and medical products, and creates the foundation for a new generation of films: SuperClear and FitForm.

“The line offers new capabilities for the production of flexible, thermoforming films – and our customers will clearly benefit in terms of sustainability, efficiency and performance”, Patrick Verhelst, Director Sales and Marketing of the Wipak Group emphasizes. Users can reduce the material usage and increase their profitability. “The performance and functionality of these thinner structures is absolutely comparable to those of thicker structures”, Adolf Ahrens, Head of Wipak’s Innovation Center adds.
