With years of accumulated knowledge of food industry partners with global markets, the team will use this experience in promoting internationally the packaging innovations developed at the OPACKGROUP.

Product specialist Rolf Kesteloo: “We as a team are very happy to have the opportunity to support and advise customers with flexible packaging solutions which are designed for current and new legislations. The OPACKGROUP invested in new technologies and is ready for the future!” In addition to the strengthening of the specialist team, the manufacturer has also acquired various test equipment and sealing machines from Krehalon in order to optimally test barrier films.

The OPACKGROUP has been investing in the sustainability of its product range for decades. The family owned company with more than 740 employees produces customer-specific, flexible packaging and films of high quality.
