Integration Is Key at Multifilm Packaging

A materials legacy

Stemming from its early work in candy markets, Multifilm's emphasis on barrier materials took a significant step in 2002 when it added lamination capabilities. "We were mostly doing single web films for twist wrap and wanted to diversify our product portfolio," recounts company president Chris Rogers. "Having both in-house cast extrusion and metallizing capabilities has allowed us to develop proprietary metallized sealant webs for high barrier laminations. It was a good way to avoid putting all our eggs in one basket and be too reliant on a narrow segment of the market."
