EDITOUR REPORTS 17 Market share in this segment is around 50% and is, according to Dr. Lizak, showing encouraging growth rates. In milk packaging in particular, consumption is growing at the rate of 8% a year. A third string to the company’s bow when it comes to smoothing out capacity utilisation over the year is the production of PET film. This consists of an annual manufac- turing output of 30,000t. This sector of the company is exhibit- ing pleasing growth rates and today corresponds to 30% of turnover . According to Dr Lizak, its special feature lies in the process- ing of PET flakes. In each case the 3-ply PET film produced is made up, as far as the internal and external layer are con- cerned, of a thin layer made from virgin PET material and, in the middle, a thicker layer made from R- PET. Hanex compound PET flakes, obtained from Germany, in their own factory and process the R-PET material, together with waste from the total production, in the middle shift. At the heart of the system are four film extrusion installations; in addition to these a fifth installation is available exter- nally for use if required. Mainly Reifenhäuser- film extrusion systems are installed. Market share in Poland is 48% and 30% of sale volume is exported, and this is expected to increase. According to Dr. Lizak, the concept is bearing fruit. Ulti- mately, PET film can be used for a range of diverse applica- tions in the packaging industry and is not subject to seasonal fluctuations. This means that the com- pany can count on guaranteed uniform capacity utilisation throughout the year www.Hanex.com.pl Cisowianka , Naleczow Pure mineral water!
