Breaking New Ground with the World’s First 12m BOPP Production Line
As a global leader in high-quality packaging films with a diverse and unique product portfolio, we are proud to announce the expansion of our footprint. Following the acquisition of KristaFilms in July 2023, Oben Group is set to establish a new production facility in Monterrey, Mexico. This facility will feature the world’s most advanced BOPP film production line, setting new industry benchmarks in output, speed, and winding diameter.
Our President, Jamil Zaidan, emphasized Oben Group’s unwavering commitment to growth and innovation:
“This new milestone reflects our dedication to pushing the boundaries of efficiency and productivity. Our partnership with Brückner has been instrumental in achieving these advancements, and we look forward to further strengthening our leadership in the packaging industry worldwide. With this new plant, we will be able to enhance our capacity to serve North American customers with top-notch service, quality and speed-to-market.”
As one of Brückner’s earliest and largest customers, Oben Group has maintained a strong partnership with the company. Markus Gschwandtner, Managing Director of Brückner Maschinenbau, expressed his appreciation for this collaboration:
“I am particularly pleased that our long-term partnership has resulted in the world’s first 12m BOPP line. It highlights our close relationship of over 30 years and, for now, is the icing on the cake.”
With more than 17 manufacturing plants across the Americas and Europe, Oben Group is one of the world’s largest film producers with a diverse and unique portfolio including BOPP, BOPE, BOPET, BOPA, PET-Shrink, CPP, CPE, CPA, and Cast; and films with added functionality by Al / AlOx metallization and by single/double side water-based coating processes serving a wide range of industries. Its high-performance films play a crucial role in flexible packaging.
