PACKAGING

The company’s products are also used in medical and technical applications, in sectors such as electronics or automotive manufacturing.
T
he Supravis story begins back in 1985, when the company was founded. Four years later the production of polyamide casings was launched, while the cast line for production of multilayer barrier films was set in motion in 1999. In 2006 the company launched a UV printing machine that was one of the first of its kind in Europe and the first one in Poland. In 2008 Supravis began production of 7-layer high barrier thermoshrinkable sleeves and 7-layer high barrier casings. In 2014 Supravis acquired BRC Certification, while a year later company launched the blown extrusion line for barrier films and 11-layer production line for high barrier thermoshrinkable sleeves.
structure investment package planned for 2020-2021 is primarily centred on the construction of new production facilities that would increase the company’s production space by one-third and secure a place for future investments. The expansion will allow Supravis to reorganise production so that each department has an optimally planned flow of materials, people and finished products. The whole production process is realised in one production plant in Bydgoszcz, Poland. Despite more than 35 years of dynamic growth and development, Supravis remains a fully family-owned enterprise, currently in its second generation.
