EUROMET - financial and industrial Group, based in Russia and Brückner Maschinenbau, the worldwide market- and technology leader for film stretching lines, recently signed a contract for two 8,2m BOPP production lines. Both lines have each a capacity of 25,000 tons/year and the first line will start in January 2005.
Just a few months later the second line will go on stream and will increase the production capacity of EUROMET Group up to 50,000 tons/years. These lines will be equipped with the most modern control and automation systems and are specially designed to produce a wide range of speciality films of the highest quality.
The total project is designed for four lines with a total capacity of more than 100,000 tons per year. The project will be conducted with the professional assistance of CONTINENTAL Polymers Ltd., a well known consultancy company in this business.
EUROMET will construct the new factory in a new industrial area close to Moscow. The factory is situated next to a major highway and has a land surface of 15 ha. All necessary utilities have been foreseen for a four line plant.
