Südpack celebrates Kłobuck anniversary

Polish flexo print competence center marks 10 years with expansion to 15,000 sqm.

Südpack has celebrated the 10th anniversary of its Polish flexo print competence center in Kłobuck with an event attended by numerous guests.

Südpack first acquired the Polish company Bahpol in 2015. Specializing in the finishing of flexible films, the company was integrated into Südpack's organizational structure. The site continues to focus on the finishing of flexible films, including via the flexo print process.

In recent years, the production facility has grown by a total of 15,000 sqm, with 1,000 sqm added in 2016 and a further 14,000 sqm between 2020 and 2022. This expansion saw the number of employees rise from 90 to 330.

Südpack has invested in numerous new machines along the entire finishing line to meet rising market demand more quickly and efficiently. Thanks to its advanced machinery and proven expertise in packaging finishing, the company remains at the forefront of the industry.

'The acquisition of what was then Bahpol was absolutely the right decision. In just a short time, the site has evolved from a pure packaging finisher into a leading competence center for flexo print in Europe. We are very confident that we will continue the Südpack Kłobuck success story in the years to come,' stated Carolin Grimbacher, managing partner of the Südpack Group.

The 10th anniversary was celebrated with employees and numerous honored guests. Braving the wintry cold in Kłobuck for the occasion were CTO Carolin Grimbacher, CEO Thorsten Seehars and COO Christoph Angel, who attended as representatives of Südpack management. In their speeches, they honored the plant's impressive journey and expressed their thanks to all local employees for their dedication and commitment.
