UPM To Build New Label Materials Operation in Poland

The new factory will feature newest proprietary technology both in coating and finishing. It will supply a wide range of film and paper labelstock products with water-based acrylic and hot-melt adhesives.

“This will secure us and UPM Raflatac’s label printing customers in Europe a solid growth platform for many years to come. Our on-going global strategic development programme, which has necessitated building new, modern production facilities in North America, Asia and now in Europe, will be largely complete. Our aim is to become the leading supplier in Europe, where particularly films and eastern Europe are strong key growth drivers,” says Heikki Pikkarainen, president of UPM’s Label Division.
