Walki invests and expands in China
The demand for polymer coated cutsize wrapping material is growing at a fast pace in China and the Asia-Pacific area, because of the rapidly growing demand for office paper. To meet the increasing demand Walki has started its investment program in the country.The new glue laminator produces mainly BOPP (bi-axially oriented polypropylene) laminates for A3 and A4 size wrappings, but it can also be used in other sorts of wrapping materials, such as barrier board and aluminium laminates, and for other lamination combinations. The laminator is part of an ongoing investment program in the factory.The Changshu factory was built in 2006, logistically well located by the Yangtze river, about 100 kilometers from Shanghai, and close to several paper mills.
