Tredegar expands film production in India

Tredegar Film Products, a subsidiary of Tredegar Corporation plans to expand its manufacturing capacity for apertured film for personal care applications at its Pune, India facility.

The expansion will serve the growing hygiene market in India and is another step in Tredegar’s plan to grow aggressively in the emerging markets. The company expects this additional capacity to be fully operational by the fourth quarter of 2014.

Since beginning operations in October, 2010, the Pune plant has served as a model for Tredegar Film Products and has been recognized for its outstanding service and consistent quality.

Population growth and evolving Indian demographics support the expanded use of hygiene and baby care products in the region. Demand continues to expand for Tredegar’s high quality apertured films and this recent investment further supports the company’s move in this market.

Among the top global leaders in the plastic films industry, Tredegar Film Products manufactures plastic films, elastics and laminate materials for the personal care, electronic display, flexible packaging, lighting and other specialty film markets.
