Sustainable packaging solution provider Coveris has opened a new vacuum skin packaging (VSP) manufacturing facility in Winsford, Cheshire, UK.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The site\u2019s inauguration was conducted by Mid Cheshire Member of Parliament Andrew Cooper.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In April 2024, Coveris announced a substantial investment in its Winsford site, which is claimed to be the largest blown-extrusion facility for polyethylene (PE) films in the UK.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The investment includes a dedicated conversion hall and specialist manufacturing equipment, positioning Coveris as the UK\u2019s sole producer of VSP.\u00a0<\/p>\n

VSP is renowned for its skin-like fit-around products, offering a premium look and extending shelf life by up to 28 days, thereby contributing to reduced food waste.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new facility will leverage Coveris\u2019 expertise in producing nine-layer ethylene-vinyl alcohol barrier film, catering to the meat and dairy sectors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
