KIVO expands capacity with new 5-layer coextruder

Innovation through minimisation and integration of recycled materials

KIVO has successfully commissioned a new 5-layer coextruder from Windmöller & Höllscher. The first production meters have now been run.

With this investment, we are strengthening our production capacity for high-quality, recyclable FFS films. The new line not only increases output, but also offers more control over layer build-up and material properties.

What does this mean concretely?

The 5-layer coextrusion technology allows:

  • Increase output per hour
  • Ensure consistent quality with thinner films
  • Mechanical properties and sealing behaviour can be controlled more precisely
  • Create additional capacity for mono-PE developments

The precise matching of the different layers allows us to optimise films for existing FFS lines, while supporting customers in moving from complex laminates to recyclable mono-material structures.

This move increases our technical strength as well as our ability to develop packaging solutions in line with future laws and regulations, including PPWR.
