Klöckner Pentaplast invests in Germany site

Klöckner Pentaplast has launched its new center of excellence for PVC and PET shrink-label, adhesive tape, card, and decorative-surfaces films at its Burgkirchen/Gendorf, Germany, site. The center of excellence is part of Klöckner Pentaplast’s 40m euro (USD $54m) investment in new manufacturing equipment and technology in Europe to optimize capacity and streamline production processes. 

The new equipment encompasses a PET extrusion line, a lamination and embossing line, a coating line, and expanded production capabilities for adhesive tape, as well as a digital printer for decorative-surfaces films. In addition, the investment includes the installation of a new design center and showroom to specifically address the needs of KP’s furniture industry customers. 

‘With the new center of excellence, we can deliver even higher value to our customers by employing the latest manufacturing technology at one location,’ said Dr Hans-Joachim Kogelnik, president and COO of Klöckner Pentaplast Europe. ‘The investment will also strengthen our PET production capabilities and will further enhance our multiple and diverse polymer range of innovative film solutions.’
