API Foils’ Polish distribution center reaches first anniversary

API Foils is celebrating the one-year milestone of its Polish distribution center, which has seen a significant increase in turnover, as well as continued sales growth month-on-month.

Based in Piaseczno near Warsaw, API Foils originally opened the distribution center to meet the demands of the growing Polish print industry, and after 12 months API Foils has reported that local growth continues.

The market share in specialist applications, such as hot and cold stamping foils, holographic foil, lamination films and number plate foil, is reported to be a key contributor to the early success of the distribution center.

Another factor driving growth is the number of multinational clients that are basing print operations in Poland, particularly in label and carton production, as well as the growth of the cosmetic and premium product market within Poland.

Pawel Lisonec, manager of the API Foils distribution center in Poland, said: ‘After observing continued industry growth in Poland, we knew it was important to invest in the region.

‘Some 12 months later, we have achieved some fantastic results and established great relationships with local printers. We hope that the success of the Polish print industry continues.’
