Jindal Films upgrades 2 technology centers

Jindal  Films,  a leading  manufacturer of BOPP  and  BOPET  is making  innovation capability additions in its facilities located in  Europe (Virton, BE) and North America (La Grange, GA).
 
The  two  complementary  locations  will  house  state-of-  the-art  testing  laboratories  for exhaustive film characterization, and will be equipped to simulate customer conditions on packaging,  printing and labeling machines. A  brand  new highly flexible Orientation  Pilot  Line  will  be  centrally  installed  in  Virton  to  better  serve  our  new developments  globally,  have  quick  access  to  new  film  prototypes  and  accelerate  new films ready to market.
 
This advanced hardware  capability  will  be  combined  with  a  highly  skilled international  team  of  scientists,  engineers,  and  technicians  with expertise from polymer & coating science, down to processes and field applications.   

This major step is a way for Jindal Films to celebrate its more than 40 years of continuous leadership in innovation, according to Pascale  Wautelet,  Global  Technology  Director.  “We  have  embodied innovation with new products that have changed the flexible packaging and label industry, and established the company as the innovation leader in the market place. This new global footprint  will  give  us  access  to  breakthrough  technology  and  support  our  aggressive growth plans.”
 
Work  will  start  immediately, with completion by July 2016.
