BOPP FILM DIVISION The BOPP film division of Irplast S.p.A., focuses on specialty film development for cigarette packs, labels and barrier packaging applications with converters and key end users. Our competitive advantage comes from: - a unique StilansolÂŽ technology by which we are able to manufacture simultaneous bi-oriented polypropylene films;
The BOPP film division started business in 1988 as Bimo S.p.A., an Italian company belonging to the Irplast Group, in the industrial area of Atessa in the province of Chieti (CH) in southern Italy. Today the BOPP film division operates two production sites in that area. Factory space: 125,000 sqm (60,000 sqm indoors) Total installed capacity: 44,000 tonnes/year of BOPP film. Production sector: BOPP, S-BOPP films Product utilization sectors: food, beverages, detergents, and tobacco. Employees: over 160 Our BOPP Film division has for many years concentrated its investments and commercial efforts to the creation of unique and special films, designed to measure for customers and markets where technical performance adds value to the finished products. Around the heart of the company - the LISIM simultaneous stretching line - we have added exceptional skill sets for high-speed machinery applications, tailor-made mechanical properties, and the know-how for materials substitution with special lighter and reinforced PP films which take cost out of the future of packaging. Often our customers appreciate the R&D projects involving both our film and print divisions done bespoke for them, benefitting from the latest technology in our internal secondary slitting department, and the propensity of IRPLAST to take on the challenges of tomorrow before they become challenges for all today.
