Cocreating Sustainability
Fardem is the oldest company in the group; they produce so-called Heavy Duty packaging since 1884. In various industries, such as the chemical, food, animal feed and fertilizer industries, the products are packaged in large bags. These bags are usually printed with the company name and the content of the package. These prints may be simple, but may also be more complex and contain up to 8 colors. Due to this process of producing, printing and supplying tailor-made plastics, the company from Edam has become a specialist in this market.
Much to everyone’s surprise, the products in the supermarket often bear the invisible Flexpak signature on their packaging! For almost 50 years, Flexpak located in Geldermalsen produces packaging for the food industry, with much passion and pleasure. These may be simple, one color printed packaging materials or even multi-layer high barrier, laminated materials with complex print jobs of eight colors. The company specializes in this process of printing, laminating and further processing until the desired final product has been created. They proudly tell their customers “a jewel on the shelf!”, every day.
It is often still an open secret, but consumers handle the flexible packaging products made by Oerlemans several times a day, every day. Think of the webshop bags and packaging for your bread, meat, cheese, and vegetables and fruit. Among other things, these packaging materials make sure we waste less food, since food will last longer if you package it this way. Besides packaging materials, the company, with factories in Genderen and Giessen in the Dutch province of Brabant, produces various films, especially designed for valuable applications in agriculture and horticulture sectors, such as horticulture and greenhouse cultivation. They have been doing this with passion and pleasure, for more than 50 years!
‘Just as flexible as our product!’ This slogan is used by Oosterwolde Plastic Industry (OPI) to promote their strong wrapping films for various sectors and large companies in food, industry and facilities. The Frisian OPI has been part of the OPACKGROUP since 2010, and supplies hundreds of customers a day with plastic films and packaging. Ranging from bio-based waste bags to circular mattress covers – anything is possible in this production factory!
Have a look in your own fridge! Every chance that you will find one of Perfon’s products. For more than 40 years, this company, based in Goor, has produced plastic films for the food and non-food industries. Just think about the films of the vegetables and fruit in your fridge. The central process is the perforation process that optimizes the freshness of different products, right down to a microscopic level!
Plasthill produces high-quality technical films and flexible packaging. These packaging solutions are used in the aviation, automotive, and food industries, among others. From two sites in Hillegom, the company supplies a wide range of customers, in and outside Europe. The film is produced in a modern factory through extrusion and processed through conversion, to create a unique, tailor-made product for international buyers. Every order is unique and needs to meet the specific requirements of each individual customer. In order to guarantee the required quality, the team of professionals works according to the highest quality standards and uses modern technologies.
With more than 125 years of experience as European producer under their belt, Stempher produces both paper (PA) and polyethylene (PE) packaging materials. The products are always customer-specific and attuned to the customer’s filling machines. These are industrial packaging materials, among others, but also packaging that you find at your local garden center. The company from Rijssen is ambitious and has lately started producing paper-based packaging solutions, such as coffee- and gift wrappings.
