API Foils Europe to open distribution center in Poland

API Foils Europe is to open a new distribution center in Warsaw, Poland, in early May.

Having seen strong opportunities to drive growth in Eastern European countries, the company believes the move will allow it to give customers a quicker delivery service on standard product as well as local sales and technical support, thereby helping customers to better target new business opportunities.

The investment will see API continuing to work with long standing customers in the region. In addition to providing local sales, marketing and technical support will include storage space for a range of standard foils and specialist finishing machinery to slit product to customer requirements.

A lease has been signed on the 550 sqm site, which was chosen for its close proximity to some key customers, as well as Poland’s printing and converting industries. The site is also close to excellent transport links. API Folie Polska will be staffed by an experienced, local team managed by business development manager Pawel Lisonek.

Will Oldham, MD of API Foils Europe, said, ‘I believe that in the next few years Poland, the Baltic States and Russia will provide some exciting growth opportunities for our range of innovative, value adding foil solutions. The investment in the new Polish facility not only provides us with the infrastructure to help take advantage of these opportunities but will enable us to improve our customer service and efficiency in the region.’
