Coveris has announced a major investment in its polyethylene extrusion facility in Winsford, Cheshire, England, aimed at expanding production capabilities, introducing advanced extrusion technologies, and enhancing storage infrastructure. The project includes the installation of a new nine-layer blown extrusion line, a cast stretch extrusion line, and a large on-site warehouse, strengthening Coveris’ position in sustainable and high-performance flexible packaging solutions.
Introduction:
Coveris, a leading European manufacturer of packaging, has announced a new investment in its polyethylene extrusion plant in Winsford, Cheshire.
Features:
The comprehensive upgrade will see the addition of a cutting-edge nine-layer blown extrusion line for technical EVOH barrier films, a new cast stretch extrusion line – marking the introduction of new technology to Coveris Winsford – and an on-site warehouse with 5,000 pallet spaces.
The newly operational nine-layer blown extrusion line establishes Coveris as the UK’s largest producer of polyethylene EVOH barrier films. These recyclable films are designed to extend the shelf life and preserve the freshness of short-shelf-life food products, with applications including meat, fish, poultry, cheese, and bakery items.
The new cast stretch machine will make films for machinery used in industries like bottling, canning, and transport. The films will also meet the UK Plastic Packaging Tax rules, with at least 30% recycled content.
