MTC adds Omet XFlex X6 for pharma packaging

MTC Polska, a leading Polish manufacturer of primary flexible packaging for the pharmaceutical industry, has installed an OMET XFlex X6 flexographic press at its production facility in Pruszków near Warsaw, strengthening its capability for high-quality pharmaceutical blister foil production and increasing overall production capacity.

Founded in 1993 in Warsaw and part of the Vienna-based MTC Holding Group, MTC Polska operates a greenfield production facility built in Pruszków in 1999. The company specializes in flexographic and rotogravure printing of aluminum blister foils, sachet laminates, strip foils, coldform materials, suppository foil and flexible laminates for pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food customers across Poland, Europe, Asia and Africa. It holds ISO 9001, ISO 15378, ISO 22000, HACCP and BRCGS Packaging certifications and operates under GMP requirements for pharmaceutical primary packaging.

The XFlex X6 was selected specifically for blister foil production, where print accuracy, register stability and consistency are critical requirements. Pharmaceutical packaging demands the highest production standards, and the press offers fast job changeovers, reduced material waste and automated setup procedures to maintain quality while improving efficiency. OMET Italy's service team carried out installation and commissioning, with comprehensive operator training completed before commercial production began, ensuring reliable performance from the first production runs.

The investment is intended to support MTC Polska's continued expansion of its customer base in domestic and international pharmaceutical packaging markets, while providing the flexibility to respond to new packaging applications as they emerge.
