On 1 August 2025, Polish Alupol Films Sp. z o.o., a subsidiary of Alupol Packaging S.A., and Brückner Maschinenbau GmbH signed an agreement for the delivery of an innovative production line for oriented polypropylene film (BOPP). The additional capacity of the 10.4m wide line will allow Alupol Films to almost double its production capacity. Location will be a new production hall complex being built in the Krakow Technology Park special economic zone in Oświęcim. According to Alupol Films, most of the BOPP film produced will be exported.
Peter Mertes, Head of Sales Brückner Maschinenbau, says: “We are happy and proud to partner with Alupol Films again: This is already our third Brückner joint project and it sends clear signals: The European BOPP film market is resilient and will remain competitive with a clear focus on solutions for the challenges arising from the new European Packaging Regulation. Innovative technologies and products will continue to ensure this in the future.”
