The capacity for stretch film will be raised by about 1,500t a year, an increase of 30%, and is set to be in operation during 2014.

The group will also cut down the production of PVC films and its derivative products.

The firm operates Linpac Packaging Pontivy in the Bretagne region and Linpac Packaging Dalidet in Ballée, in France. Together the plants generate sales of around €200m.
