Integration Is Key at Multifilm Packaging

Getting started

Starting in 1982, Multifilm operated for most of its first decade as an import sales office for Austria-based Constantia Group. Marcus Magnusson, director of sales and marketing, says the company moved into manufacturing around 1990 when it partnered with a local company to produce cast polypropylene (CPP) as a replacement material for the cellophane used for twist-wrapping hard candies. Four years later it acquired the partner's assets to become a full-fledged manufacturer, and the current management team bought the business from Constantia Group in 2008.
