Packaging major Uflex Ltd has commissioned an AL-OX coater for packaging films at its Egypt plant. As part of the expansion plans, Uflex is ramping up production capacities for BOPP films (Bi-axially Oriented Poly Propylene film) to 35,000 TPA; 30,000 TPA of PET (Polyester) and 12,000 TPA of CPP films aggregating to total capacity of 77,000 TPA. The company's planned investments in Egypt are pegged at $135 million. The first line of this expansion involves adding capacities in BOPP films. The second line of setting up facilities for CPP films, work at the new 12,000-tonnes-per-year facility, has become operational whereas the third line to produce 30,000 TPA of PET film will be operational by December-end or January 2012. Mr Ashok Chaturvedi, Chairman and MD of UFLEX, said: “Setting up of the AL-OX coater for Packaging films at the Egypt plant is in sync with our plans to add manufacturing lines for new product categories at the existing facilities.”
