India-based business Toppan Specialty Films has announced a significant investment in BOBST technology to strengthen its film production capacity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The company purchased three additional BOBST EXPERT K5 Metallizers, which are set to be delivered over the next 12 months.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
This move marks a substantial expansion of Toppan\u2019s production capabilities in the packaging sector. Its films are primarily used in sustainable flexible packaging.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The company said it relies on BOBST metallisers for its operations and the recent purchases mean it will now house eight of these advanced machines.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The BOBST metalliser offers high-speed metallising, energy saving and waste reduction, 20% savings in production costs, and up to a 25% reduction in total cost of ownership compared to competitors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With a focus on sustainability, the new metallisers will incorporate value-added features such as AlOx GEN II, a next-generation clear barrier process for monomaterial flexible packaging materials.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In addition, they will feature AluBond for improved metal adhesion and dyne levels, as well as Hawkeye Pinhole Detector.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The India-based business is reportedly one of the major players in the production of speciality films, label films, and graphic lamination films.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In March this year, Vitopel, a Brazil-based biaxially oriented polypropylene solutions manufacturer, invested in BOBST\u2019s EXPERT K5 2450mm metalliser<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"Email](\"https:\/\/www.packaging-gateway.com\/wp-content\/themes\/goodlife-wp-B2B\/assets\/images\/newsletter-new.svg\")
